Are you seriously trying to say that you guys all just up and got rid of your screw lock biners and replaced your entire inventory with triple-lockers because some person in a suit told you to???
That's pure bureacracy on the part of the equipment manufacturers, and a small amount of climbers who don't use their equipment properly, which impacts all of the rest of us!
That's like saying that before triple-lockers came out that everyone who was using screw-locks was being radically unsafe.

You're also implying, by default, that I don't screw my biners closed. Otherwise they're PERFECTLY SAFE!!
It scares me that you don't think screw-lock biners are safe when used properly.
