Aah, so we’ve all decided to beat the *** out of poor Kris. I have seen bolt plates fall off bolts. That was because people sometimes do a very strange thing. They clip the carabiner into the slot where the bolt is supposed to fit and delicately hang the boltplate upsidedown on the the bolt. Usually done only by those in the learning/survival phase. The simple faith in equipment implicit in such action is very touching.
