Yeah it was a bonehead move, nobody thinking to at least keep an eye on the rope to make sure it was securely tied. I guess they were all absent the day they taught that in their Earth Skills class.

Well yeah they held the rope when Belamy went down, because that was after Sterling made his attempt and plummeted to his death, takng the good rope with them (seriously, that rope looked like they just bought it at the hardware store that morning), leaving them to cobble together a rope with seat belts and crap. And, they just minutes earlier, had a very good lesson on WHY someone should keep an eye on the rope ad make sure it doesn't come loose. (And of course, the out of character reason of Bellamy being a main character, so if he's gonna die, he needs to do it in a "cooler" way than the rope coming loose.)
