Alright, Jim Brennan admitted to losing a chunk of precious chest hair in another thread. I've got at least a few T-shirts with holes somewhere above the belly button. I might have feared nipple loss a few times, enough to adrenalize me into quick action and salvation.


What have you mangled in there? I'm not sure if I'm more curious or more afraid of hearing naked belay accidents.

I've lost a few beard hairs and hairs off the top of my head when my hair was long, but I used to know this girl who had very long hair and got her pony tail stuck. It was an awful ordeal. It kept sucking tighter and tighter until her head was up against the device. It apparently had to be cut off next to the scalp and cut her somewhat severely.

Well, I thought this might be where that thread "Home Woody Belay Advice" was going to go, but not even Tami posted up, Don't get it stuck in there!!. I hope that occurrence doesn't show up on this thread.

I've had hair and shirts stuck in belay devices. I've had a belayer get her breast stuck in her ATC catching a fall of mine -- she still held the fall, but ended up with a painful bruise, and a ripped t-shirt.

Good one, Jim! I've caught way more Democrats than Republicans, but most of those were with a hip belay.
