I liked the book Running on Empty by Jonice Webb . It is more about childhood emotional neglect and how the absence of normal parenting damages children . <| sep |> Hot singles in your area ! <| sep |> I worked in the industry for years , including dealing with the AB manufacturers . Went to the CWA conference most years and whatnot . I really can ' t recall hearing about a single instance of someone getting dropped by a malfunctioning AB that was intended for climbing use as mentioned elsewhere , the first ABs were units designed to catch single falls in the construction industry , not repeated falls for months , and there were a few failures then , but that was ages ago and I highly highly doubt any of those are still in use . On the other hand , I do know that there have been dozens of people who get hurt and several fatalities when they forget to clip in , or clip into a gear loop , etc .
