Are you using your grigri correctly?
There have been several accidents involving grigris in the climbing press recently. It is important to remember that the grigri offers the belay a backup. It is not, however, infallible and should be used correctly. The belay should a always keep one hand on the dead rope and not hold the grigri open with their thumb on the lever.
