What is this? This is a climbing belay device called Simond Toucan Light. It helps climbers and belayers control the rope when climbing.
What's happening? Some of these devices may lock on their own without warning. This can cause climbers to fall or make it hard for the belayer to stop the rope.
Does this affect me? If you climb or belay in Romania, Belgium, France, Ireland, Poland, or Portugal, check your device.
What should I do? Stop using the device and ask a climbing expert or doctor for advice.
