We have lately heard about severalaccidents where the rope has been cut of completely by carabiners which throughextensive usage have gotten very sharp edges. Imagine a fixed quickdraw under aroof that is pulled out when the climber is falling higher up or is lowereddown. Black Diamond has produced andarticle with a mind blowing picture for potential death trap carabiners. Someweeks ago, I climber was killed due to a cut rope under a roof in Switzerland.
最近我们听说了几起关于绳子被铁锁完全割断的事故。这些锁都因为过度使用、磨损，而产生了非常锋利的边缘（如图）。想象一下，屋檐底下固定的快挂所承受的攀岩者在上方冲坠和被放下时的磨损（有些线路，开线者会在某个地方安置固定的快挂或通过铁链连接的铁锁）。BlackDiamond曾经发表一篇关于可能造成潜在死亡风险的铁锁的文章，并附带了一张令人心惊肉跳的图片。几周前，瑞士的一个攀岩者因为在屋檐下绳子被切断而坠亡。
It should also been mentioned that this ofcourse also can happen when a carabiner is sideways creating a bad angle forthe carabiner. The chance for a roped being cut is also greater for an old one.
Please spread the news around as there mostprobably are hundred of death trap old carabiners hanging out there. (You can clickhere to share it on your Facebook account or on the FB Icon inthe header).
