Whats the smallest cam you ever fell on?

Trad climbers - whats the smallest cam you ever fell on ? 000 c3 anyone? 

Took a 7-10 footer on a Metolius #2, which is a BD .3. It was a pretty desperate placement, so I was psyched it held :)

Fell on or had catch me?

I've taken a number of falls on the .1 X4, surprisingly bomber. Also did ~20' onto a two lobe black totem placement 

I took a 10-15 foot fall on a 00 master cam. It held fine with no damage to the cam. 

i generally try not to fall, but if you're looking for examples of 000 c3s holding, here's a couple

000 C3 in desert sandstone. Doubled them up, first one held.

I’ve whipped 15-20ft on a #0 green C3 on a softrock Moab aid tower and a similar fall free climbing in Zion on the same cam. 

eric - fell on.

jack- on a 2 lobe totem ? what r rated climb where you on that you climbed 20 ft past a two lober ?

Purple C3 for sure, many times. Don't think I've fallen on the grey ghost, though.

Purple #0 Metolius ultralight. It was flared open and caught me on an 8 foot tall, on the crux of The Gobler in Red Rock

Yes, what caused this to happen? Also probably only ten ish feet above, right?

A greater-than-factor-one fall onto a dyneema daisy connected to a blue alien. The placement was crap to begin with. Two of the lobes blew, but the other two saved the day. The cam was a little cockeyed after that incident. It has retired to the hall of fame.

I'm a shitty aid climber. Aliens are great cams.

Black alien placed in some manky crispies. It wasn't a very long fall but the placement was such garbage that I was really impressed that it didn't peel. 

I'm ~200lbs and have taken multiple falls on 000's. Haven't pulled or broken one yet

Old or new aliens?

000 C3 or #2 ballnut.

Maybe 7-8 feet above the piece taking stretch into account. Got a bit too aggressive French freeing on the Nose and peeled off. I'd also forgotten it was only two lobes until after I fell, which helped with my confidence with the frenching I guess.

000 in sandstone free climbing? Scary!!!! I wouldn't take a piss on ten of those nested together in Wingate!

Mine is about 20' onto a small blue metolius. It was the only piece I had plus a light belayer, so probably not that much force?

I fell about 10-12 ish feet on a #1 ball nut it was the only piece I had placed and that combined a great catch from my buddy Logan saved my ankles. Luckily the rock was granit. Surprisingly the ball nut barely looks used just a few small scratches on the copper.
