What happens if GriGri gets trapped in the first Quickdraw?

let's pretend that i am a very

lightweight belayer and my climber takes

a huge fall which drags me up into the

wall and if i panic and let go the brake

side of the rope to protect myself while

my grigri gets trapped in the first

quick draw is this gonna kill my climber

i already made a video showing that if

you press on grigris cam and not hold

the brake side of the rope that might

end up fatal

so let's see if quickdraw can also

unlock the grigri scam if you get

trapped in it if i

am pulled

so hard

wow

[Laughter]

i mean that was like one shot experiment

though yeah well if you move maybe you

will be going down

no no keep filming yeah it goes down so

if i would not be holding this

yeah if i don't hold this the climber

goes to the ground so yes quick draw can

unlock grigri scam but to make this

experiment even better i wanted to see

what happens in a dynamic environment

where i would fly up and jam into the

quick unfortunately i'm not that

lightweight to fly all the way from the

ground into the first quick draw so

instead i decided to clip myself with a

separate quick draw just below the bolt

so i would need to fly less pulling yeah

ah no the rope got pinched

yeah

oh no

whoa the rope oh man this is crazy what

happened to the rope so first few

attempts the climber was saved by the

rope getting trapped between the grigri

and the quickdraw or in some cases even

wrapping around grigri's handle

which you definitely don't want to

happen but then we got this

okay pull it yep

whoa

yep yep

all my backup went in

[Music]

so if i would not have this hand on my

climber would be on the ground

attempt number two

i'm gonna give you

one meter of

backup rope

yeah

whoa

yeah

so here you go another reason why you

should never let go the brake side of

the rope even if you're playing with the

grigri and if you want more life-saving
