that would be difficult wouldn't it, if he/she was abseiling double rope?
you'd have to have a spare rope, do a small haul to release load at the anchor point etc.
That would work if the abseil rope was threaded through a snaplink but not if through chains or something you couldn't undo or cut. (or cut the rope!!)

But then again if you had a spare rope (of sufficient length) would it not be easier to do a pick-off?
