Lifetime Athletic Camp Counselor Practice Test

When an auto-belay fails inspection, the most responsible course of action is to refrain from using it. This approach ensures the safety of all campers who might potentially use the auto-belay. Auto-belay systems are critical for safety during climbing activities, and any failure may indicate a serious risk of injury. By not using the equipment, counselors help prevent accidents and ensure that all safety measures are strictly followed.

Choosing to continue using the auto-belay, even cautiously, poses unnecessary risks because any malfunction could lead to dangerous situations. Likewise, notifying supervisors without ceasing use does not prioritize the immediate safety needs of campers. Attempting to fix the equipment without proper training or authority could lead to further complications and is not advisable. Thus, the decision to not use the auto-belay protects campers and upholds the standards of safety and care expected in a camp environment.
