It would be interesting to put a cracked one on a force gauge to see how much pressure/weight would cause it to fail

I'm sure they have already done so, and would have issued a full recall if there was any risk of failure.

.... but I don't personally think there is any chance of one actually coming apart even if shock loaded.

 

You are most probably right, but why bet your life on such an unknown? There is a hugh amount of strength loss when a formerly closed metal ring is open.

Didn't the Mk 1 fail and a climber was injured ?

I'd imagine so, but it would be interesting to see the number for piece of mind

Yes but at a different point, which has been considerably strengthened

Forgive me if this is "old news" but I've just read this which, whilst describing a different potential problem to that Stephen describes, is quite worrying https://www.petzl.com/security/professional/recalls/recall-zigzag-d22?language=en#.VtXEJ5Xcv4g

 

Is this / was this also the MkII?

 

Thanks all n apologies again if old news..
