Prussic while abseiling - above or below device? 1-Aug-2012 At 8:07:01 AM Ben_E

If you are really knocked out I'd have thought you'd most likely end up hanging upside-down irrespective? Maybe someone can comment from experience.

In any case, I use a short loop of cord tied in a prusik attached to the leg loop, more or less as in the picture. I use it pretty much all the time and have never had it sucked into the ATC.

I don't find it slows me down much, if at all, and if I'm the second person abseiling I usually attach it to the rope while the first is heading down the rope.

I've found cord much better than sling, which did tend to get sucked into the ATC or even just jam around the rope when I didn't want it to.
