UKC

This topic is not intended to start a debate into the state of fixed gear in the UK and whats should be done about it. Please don't let it plummit into that.

I know there was an incident at London Wall a few years ago when someone had a serious accident when they fell on some fixed gear (I think they might have actually been killed, though I could be wrong).

I'm basically asking for examples that people know of of accidents caused when fixed gear has failed on routes. This is all for some research I'm doing into climbing ethics, so any help would be appriciated.

Thank you in advance.

Shit this video is scary..........

In reply to mlmatt:

The London Wall incident didn't kill the climber. Also there was good gear nearby that the climber decided not to place.

Slightly off topic, but that's why i usually feel safer climbing trad than on someone else's bolts. Scary!
