Locking gate to assure safe operation.
With narrow side connecting to harness loop, to practically keep the system in correct loading direction.

How does belay device work?
— Belay device works as a friction brake, designed to be used by belayer to assure climber’s safety with minimum force.

Three steps to describe:
Bent Rope →
Super great friction(force) →
Stop the move of rope(locking off rope)
Bent rope releases super large force (friction).

–By threading through belay device, rope bents twice to generate great friction, which allows belayer to catch the fall of a much heavier climber with minimum force.
