30 feet is a HUGE mess up. It goes without saying that there is little room for slip-ups, especially on something like belaying that can be taught thoroughly. Belaying is one of the last things someone should make a mistake doing, regardless if the person decks or not. Liken it to learning how to land an airplane. Your acquaintance doesn't have a good excuse. And it would have been more respectable of him to have been honest about the causes and prevention so it doesn't happen again. Someone needs to guide him through proper belaying and rope handling issues before someone gets hurt.
