Fixed old carabiners can CAN CUT YOUR ROPE!

We have lately heard about several accidents where the rope has been cut of completely by carabiners which through extensive usage have gotten very sharp edges. Imagine a fixed quickdraw under a roof that is pulled out when the climber is falling higher up or is lowered down. Black Diamond has produced and article with a mind blowing picture for potential death trap carabiners. Some weeks ago, I climber was killed due to a cut rope under a roof in Switzerland. It should also been mentioned that this of course also can happen when a carabiner is sideways creating a bad angle for the carabiner. The chance for a roped being cut is also greater for an old one. Please spread the news around as there most probably are hundred of death trap old carabiners hanging out there.
