Gaar! I'm amaized! That must have been some wipper! As far as the cam, I think it looks fine, but I'm no trad master. But with all of your experience, I'm suprised that you are asking the well, less experienced. I would think U should be telling US why we should or should not use the cam. You should have gotten some shots of you taking the wipper. Now THAT would be somethin' to talk about!

Yeh, what kdub said.
And sloop, too. You totally should have gotten some shots of the whipper.

Well the whipping habit is mighty bad
It's the worst old habit that I ever had
Hey, hey honey take a whip on me
Take a whip on me
Take a whip on me
all you climbers take a whip on me
Hey, hey honey take a whip on me
Well I used my 6 cam and I used my 10 (stopper that is)
But the way I used my 7 cam, that’s a dog gone sin

When in doubt throw it out. A kinked wire rope must be replaced in the crane business. Possible fatigue failure in the future. Plus it may not load the cams properly causing the piece to fail in suspect placements. Would it hold another fall - probably.

You only have a couple measly bitmaps? No video of the fall? Be prepared next time.
Also, I would not recommend writing on the cams with a pencil.. Try using colored tape, or cutting a small notch in the cable.

why not write the manufacturer if you're into informed opinions? this is a web forum for chrissakes. other than that, on every well used rack i've ever seen (a few dozen) most of the cams have warpped cables...ie 'flexible friends'...
