Carrot failure @ Muline 23-Nov-2013 At 8:31:56 AM lacto

Surely what was good for the 70's and 80's is no longer the case . In todays world you can no longer have an accident at work , but instead you weren't properly trained to do whatever task it was you had the accident . If a carrot is placed and used by the FA then that is fine but if written up and encouraging other to repeat then the safety of the placement must fall back on the person placing the carrot . Presumablly this was placed under the "best practice at the time". To ask the FA to warrant the reliability of the carrot for the future is questionable .
If the failed carrot of this post had resulted in a climber decking, smashing his spine and incurring brain damage ,I believe that certain law firms would relish the chance to sue anybody and the net would be wide ,from FA ,Parks, guide book editors ,climber who recently climbed but didnt fix the problem . Discussions on this forum re safety would be pored over , and I would hate to be HB when it is stated often that he says "no need to replace them they are fine " Has he checked all these carrots and how long will he be capable checking them .
