Interesting all the downvotes, do people genuinely think they would take more care over a belay for themselves than one for a partner?
I find keeping my partner safe a bigger motivator to add another piece than myself, and looking back at my life I think it's always been the case.
Back when I was an idiot in a car, I used to enjoy showing off to mates but only so far; I'd definitely push it harder when I was alone in the car. Even when I had the crash that slowed me down, it was the thought of hurting someone else on the road that did it, not myself.
