The number of accidents says more about the skill level/attentiveness of the people who lead climb indoors, than the effectiveness of the various devices they employ. Having worked at the gym in question for many years, I experienced many "Don't backchat me, I know boats" moments where climbers simply refuse to acknowledge that what they are doing is incorrect or dangerous. There are also far more distractions for belayers in the gym. SICG banned the Gri Gri after too many users dropped their climber by either backfeeding the rope into the device, or by assuming that it autolocks and neglecting to hold the tail end of the rope.
