>Personally I find that big screwgates are more prone to spin and crossload >compared to smaller screwgates. So I stick to the small ones... Considering the geometry of the loading forces, I would have thought the more oval the carabiner - ie the more parallel the long sides are, the more likley it would find or stay in a stable crossloaded configuration, while the more triangular the carabiner is, with the long sides at a significant angle to each other, the more likely a cross loaded biner would automaticaly re-orintate it's self to the correct position. Not sure if this agrees with priactice, may be someone has some comments..
