Though I believe this to probably be true, it is speculation since it wasn't locked off and we don't know the outcome of what didn't happen. The rope did become taught (locked off) after slipping to the end and still held. Your right to bring up the idea that people should remain aware of what can happen and the forces that could be involved in certain situations when a rope is locked off bringing up a second. edit: I see your reply to jay while I was posting and agree that the odds are higher.
