Worth reading for the 'lessons learned' at the end.

Key lesson: if you are going to have a haul bag dropped on you, its useful if the people who dropped it are trained in first aid & rescue techniques.

More seriously, I couldn't make head or tail of what actually caused the haul-bag to cut loose, and I don't think they could either. So yeah, lock those lockers, and keep rigging as simple / clear as possible

They allude to the risks of climbing below others - yes, doing small climbs at the base of El Cap doesn't have a lot of appeal to me.
