Apparently Brazilian belay lines are just for looks.

Interesting. Looks like the belay was in place...Either untended or not properly constructed. Obviously the belay did not pass the whistle test :shock:
However, had the belay been deployed the shock load may have caused the rescuer to drop the jumper, looks like it worked this time around.
Nice find Cox.

Oh yeah..Another good reason to be lowered instead of rappelling.
