how does someone fall down the last 10ft of pitch? i must be missing something here.
I would only normally bottom belay a novice. Bottom of a pitch is not a good place to hang around with people above...
None of the above from what I can gather he just lost control on the slick wet rope and plummeted, he was the 3rd or 4th down.

with the concomitant possibility of dropping the jammer back down the pitch????

Im just "used to" removing the top jammer from the rope and letting it drop onto the safety cord...only on this occaision, it went tinkle tinkle tinkle all the way down the pitch.
