Hanging on in Quiet Desperation is the English Way...

There was a little discussion today over a pint about the British way of belaying. One of the films we saw yesterday showed two ropes through two pieces of protection. I though it was a mom's way of trying to protect her trad climbing kid's but it seems that the way the Brits do it. Check out this video, seem pretty safe, The belayer has both ends, the climber is in the loop, I think. Soft catch anyway, but take a look at the fall and then tell me what you think.
