Tree Contact Can Open a Carabiner

Even a triple action (double locking) carabiner can become unintentionally or accidentally opened by contact with the tree. In this video, JRB was testing a prototype platform attachment using a carabiner on one end of a tensioner and a ring on the other side. During the act of applying weight to the platform, the triple action carabiner opened. Carabiners should be tensioned along the lengthwise axis only and should not be used in applications where they contact the tree.
