A Fixe lower-off used in an outdoor training area at the National Outdoor Centre, Plas y
Brenin broke after being load tested using a chain of karabiners to give it a small shock
load. The failure occurred at the weld of the third chainlink from the top hanger. Some light
surface corrosion was noted in places, and in addition two chainlinks show evidence of
gross material defects which do not appear to have been found during the manufacturer’s
inspection procedures.
