Chouinard harness didn't COME unbuckled. Client went to take a leak and forgot to buckle it back up or didn't get it buckled correctly.
Kim Schmitz was guiding in the Tetons and was pulled off by his client. Took an 80' grounder. I think Mugs Stump was guiding when the crevasse lip collapsed, killing him. Craig Luebben was killed while training for a Guide's exam. Lot's of other stories like that.
Guiding is like climbing with a partner who is always on the lookout for clever and unexpected ways to kill you.
If you really want to plumb a deep well, dig up all the accident reports that involve Boy Scout climbing trips.
Climb safe,
