It is impossible to teach any climbing mechanisms on youtube in less that 5 minutes. Bud, you have to stop this. Please.

thanks for the tip mate. Do you have a video or some sort of illustration explaining that activity.
I would apreciate if so, cause its really important to me.
thanks again.

simply tie a small prussik loop and attach it under the atc. the other end to your leg loop. should you need to stop the prussik will grab and hence "auto block"
-
Umm, yeah. Where is your back-up?

Two excellent pieces of advice on this video:
1. tie knots in the end of your rope
2. seek professional instruction
It seems unprofessional to produce a video where the instructor does not discuss edge safety and himself is not clipped in while approaching the edge. Secondly, he uses an "autolocking" carabiner but fails to give it a squeeze check.
Also, the mention of back-ups would be good. I don't think back-ups are ALWAYS necessary, but should be CONSIDERED for every rappel.

A really good method to stop and be hands-free is to place an auto-locking knot on the rope BELOW the rappel device, and attach it to a leg loop. Then extend the rappel device away from your harness by using a prussik between the harness and the rappel biner.
