I use daisies alot, I dont fall into them or allow myself the chance to. Usually they are attached to an alpine butterfly in a top belay abseil system. If I need to shorten it I just put a snappy in my belay loop and clip into a loop from my waist. I weigh 80 kg and I thrash my daisies in muddy canyons and pinning into steep routes etc. If I ever intended to fall (eg back up device on back up line) I would choose something dynamic. No need to discredit daisies, and there will allways be people out there misusing gear. Today I ran out of draws so used a locking biner clipped to one end of tricam, snappy with some bolt plates still attached to the other end of tri cam. instant quickdraw!! Would I complain if i fell on it and blew it apart. ..? I would F*&king sue CAMP for sure.
