Petzel Zigzag

[noddynolan]

Hi been on a cousre this week and told it would be the best thing to not climb on a zigzag at the moment till petzl come up with a reason or decent explanation as to why and what happened to the last incident with the zigzag. As its my life its hands im agreeing with leaving it out of my kit bag now. Not seen any report on it if anyone has a link to it I would appreciate that. Anyone any thoughts on this subject????

Petzl haven't said stop climbing on it, I intend to do my daily inspections on the device and carry on using it.

Obviously your choice but seems a bit premature to advise against using it.

No reason not to use it, think your jumping the gun a bit.

Seen the pics and petzls reply, use mine everyday nearly and I'm hard on kit, no sign of any probs so I'm gona keep going as I am

Use mine everyday. Give it a visual inspection every time I am about to leave the ground. I don't see the problem. It isn't a catastrophic failure where you will drop out the tree unlike when the mark 1 was repeatedly abused.

Thanks for the link, after reading that I shall continue using mine

had i bought one so would i. It says do not cross load so try and avoid it. I certainly wouldn't have cross loaded it and repeatedly shock loaded the device to cause failure. I also think they are fantastic but then i was on a prussic before that.
