In that picture from the article, those don't look at all like the Petzl strings (rubber keeper doo dads) that I have. Are those another brand or did Petzl change them sometime in the last 10 years? You couldn't possibly do what the picture shows with the Petzl strings that I own.

Those aren't Petzl strings, at least not what we can buy here in the US.  So there's either a different version for overseas or there's other brands out there.  I bought some strings last year and they look pretty similar to this that came directly from the Petzl site:

Thanks, interesting stuff although blaming not wearing a helmet helmet is nonsense.

I didn’t read all the threads, and I’m assuming his injuries may have been fatal with or without a helmet, but I think this is worth talking about.
