Descending a static line....

Earlier today I was watching Man vs. Wild on the Discovery channel. The host Bear (whatever his last name is) was descending on a static line into an ice crevice. He was using a Belay plate with a vt back up above it. Not saying his system was wrong or right. I just found it cool to see the VT tied on the line, naturally I noticed it right away. I was thinking as I watched "hey I'll be damned, thats a vt hes climbing on!"
