Yea, well put me squarely in the "shit happens" camp. Even very diligent people screw up and if you are in denial about that, may I respectfully suggest that sport may not be for you. That is not the same thing as being lackadaisical about safety. I suspect that shit happens a lot more often to climbers who believe that shit happens than to climbers who don't. Example: A cam pulls out in a fall for each of two climbers. Climber 1 reasons, "Shit happens." Climber 2 reasons, "I must not have placed that cam properly." Which climber will be more likely to have another cam pull out on him in a fall? Jay
