Man, glad your ok! Accidents can happen so fast. We had to go to a rescue a few years back, a hunter was in an old man and had been sitting for a few hours when his cable slipped past the pin (as he didn't get it through the loop), and allowed him to fall backwards as you stated. He was about 20' off the ground and
WAS NOT wearing a harness. Luckily his phone, when it fell from his shirt pocket, landed in the good of his jacket and he was able to call for help.
What type of climber were you using, if you don't mind sharing? Old Man Grand Multi Vishion. My climbing days may be over. That pin had to be in the loop. There is no way I could have climbed if it weren't. I don't know for sure though how it came out. I still use my original ol man grand multi vision, but I did change the pins out a couple of years ago to the ones that have the threaded nuts on them as I had the others Get close to opening before. If you decide to climb again, that maybe a good investment. Again, thank The Lord you were able to walk away.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!
