This is the most foolproof belay device ever designed, utilizing an inertia-reel mechanism that locks automatically regardless of which way the rope is loaded. It removes the risk of human error entirely, though you sacrifice the lightweight simplicity of a traditional tube device for its heavier, more mechanical build.
