Saw this video, and got scared a bit :)

I was wondering what people use for:

Anchoring yourself for safety prior to rappel (I use various items... nylon sling / dyneema sling / Metolius PAS 22 Personal Anchor System (https://www.backcountrygear.com/pas-22-personal-anchor-system.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwnPOEBhA0EiwA609RecEGf6l4 uYJes2JRsJvrVsoGL2vlb_7B6JXcOiDbmw7UtRjcJX5Q0BoCsL QQAvD_BwE) - all girth hitced to my harness belay/rappel loop and carabiner on the other side to connect to the anchor point)
Rappel device extension, if using one (I use a 6" Black diamond dogbone connected with a rapid link to my harness)


Cheers
