interesting just how many things go wrong with such a great device? The cam/panic problem can also occur with descenders such as the petzl stop (AKA petzl slip). In a panic situation an inexperienced user's first reaction can be to grab and squeeze the handle, instantly causing a plummet. That's why the SRT double brake descender and petzl ID (industrial gri gri $300), also lock if you "over squeeze" the lever. Used correctly a Gri gri really can't fail to catch a fall, and do it instantly. The problem is that in doing this the extra force exerted on your pro may cause it to fail.
