In addition to the Chris Harmston mention, which I'm sure used to be findable on Google, but blowed if I can find it now... Those tests were good enough for me. http://www.smr001.net/news/Newsletter_2001-03.htm "At the International Technical Rescue Symposium, 2000, Garin Wallace and Kevin Slotterbeck of SMC presented data on the strength of carabiners that had been dropped 27’ or 54’ onto concrete or asphalt. One by one, they dropped 115 new, SMC locking D aluminum carabiners. Then they broke the carabiners, measuring the breaking strengths." Can anyone track down a copy of those test results? As far as it goes, I agree with Tom's comments. Check out the gear, and it it gives you mental strife, don't use it. owain.
