I've not aided before, but have done a bit of industrial work and work in gyms rigging/route setting
etc. Best suggestion i can make is ditch a karabiner all together, use a Maillon Rapide instead. A 10mm
oval or D-shape would be the go. tighten just past finger tight with your handy leatherman and you'll
(never) rarely have any issues with it coming undone.

I know there are some lads on here who use Maillon in place of a biner, they'll be able to give some
pointers too no doubt!

Glad to hear you didn't have any series injuries though! that's a decent fall you took. Back on that horse
mate!
