How to safely belay and rappel

The British Mountaineering Council and Mountain Leader Training England have published an excellent 6-page leaflet on how to belay and rappel safely.

Entitled Belaying and Abseiling—Get It Right, it addresses some of the most common causes of injuries and fatalities suffered by climbers, hill walkers, and mountaineers, and offers clear, concise ways to avoid them.

PSA: This information would make an excellent public service announcement (PSA) or community outreach program for SAR teams dealing with these types of calls.
