So looking at the maths in this - http://www.totemcams.com/files/galeria/files/IndarEbazpena.pdf
A cam in a flared crack is as likely to hold as a cam in a parallel crack (ie requires same amount of friction for given downwards force) ....
- although the forces on the axel/rock can be much, much greater depending on flare angle, potentially leading to drama
- if things start to get really flared, the cam might 'roll over' I guess, and then you're hosed
That doesn't seem very intuitive.
Maybe I am not looking at the maths correctly.
