Mallion for Lanyard?

[Mr. Squirrel]

Mallion/grillon in question.

the wear on that mallion looks like a 'classic' defect that dose not involve a grillon but maybe it is, it would be great to see the grillon/ harness D to which it was attached

 

I examine many grillion/mallion combos where the grillon is mounted via mallion strait to the harnesses side D and the wear that i observe tends to be to the Grillon unsurprisingly as the mallion is made of steel and the grillon aluminium. I've only ever found 2 grillons worn to the point that they failed and they were rather old anyway, there is no way that the combo could get to that state within 6 months in my opinion, not in arb anyways, circus rigging sure those flaming strap artists and trapeze can be a nightmare!

The only issue I see is that you can't swap your lanyard from side D's to the lower D's for if its being used for your primary support. I use a treemotion so do this quite often.

Also you may want to attach to centre D to escape 'circle of death' if there is a risk of the stem splitting.

 

Just buy a decent crab.
