I never seen GriGri Slipping without pressing on the cam... After my first near ground fall during Rock Climbing I had to investigate this... So to be safe make sure to always have a grip on the brake side of the Rope - especially if you are belaying with extremely skinny Ropes. User Manuals are for a reason and I'm sure there are other funky situations that I'm not aware of that could result into accidents, so don't threat GriGri as hands free device if you don't want to be a statistic. If you are getting value out of my videos and wanna feel good - consider supporting me: https://hardiseasy.com Because that makes a big difference and is the main reason that allows me do this project! Deep Thanks! Ben ♫ Music for my videos comes from https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/yeiaom
