Prussic while abseiling - above or below device? 2-Aug-2012 At 10:13:14 AM trog

Ending up on the ground (even heavily damaged) isn't necessarily always the worst outcome in every situation, (or hanging on your knot (you did knot the ends right).. although that undermines the point I'm making) - Plenty of times someone knocked out on rope could become a more serious problem than cratering at speed on the rope.

I often use a prussic backup, but it is not always appropriate (eg canyoning - ab'ing through water backups are generally a bad idea)
