And that is why rope grippers should be mandated ASAP. We have the means to prevent this type of accident but do to cost things like the rope gripper, The Timeout jumper, and other safety devices are not being mandated fast enough. The riding public is ignorant of their existence. The companies and IUEC will benefit from hours worked and added safety that equals less liability. Win Win right? But we race to add unproven new product's on the market that end up with a whole new set of safety problems of their own..?????
