Yeah it wood. Ridding the stubb after that bugger hit would be the PITA, like cutting a bad leaner in half where several limbs connect to the trunk it tends to hold and what a ride that is.

In talking to Erik via email, I found he had saved an picture of the actual hitch he tied that failed him.
The difference from a properly tied Blake's hitch is very subtle, if you look closely you might be able to see where he went wrong.

What I mean by having the bridge captured is this:
After the turns are made on the standing part of the rope, the working end comes down over the bridge and then back under the bridge. Finally, the working end is tucked up through the bottom two turns and finished with a stopper.
