Clipped bolt plate came off carrot bolt 2-Oct-2013 At 9:13:41 PM rightarmbad

If I had to choose one plate and one plate only for carrots, it would be RP45's.
And Neil hit the nail on the head, have a set of old thicker biners set up especially for carrots.
Especially note the profile around the hook area.
Any biner that can lay flat and slide the nose over the bolt head is dodgy.

If you don't understand how this happens, get somebody to show you the mechanism and then it is quite easy to make a judgement for yourself as to how any unknown biner will perform.

Just like anything else, ask to be shown, there are plenty that will gladly demonstrate.

This is well known and has been held up continuously as a reason to rip all carrots out and place rings or U's, so saying that you never realised has me wondering exactly which rock you have been hiding under.

So I now also wonder if you know that draws can magically unclip themselves from rings and U's?
This is actually easier to demonstrate than plates magically jumping off.
