Well, I trust my release a lot, as it is the "French" type that can not be jammed because of sand or dirt or rust or anything - so not possible to find one that can be trusted moreknotwindy wrote:Peter_Frank wrote:Yes - but then we solely rely on a mechanical release as the ONLY release option, just like the release schackles (we abandoned because) - with no options to get yourself "clear" if it jams
