Please excuse me for the thread dig up.

Don't use two reels thinking it will give redundancy, apparently it will double your descent speed!
Could somebody elaborate a little bit?

I've heard that story as well, but don't really understand how the inertia reels work.
Does it mean a 50kg man will fall down twice as fast than a 100kg man?
