Rock climbers experience this to a deadly degree. Amazon sells critical life-saving equipment for climbers and mix sales of quality gear and cheap knock-offs.

The problem is that a lot of young climbers are ised to using Amazon for everything and aren't aware of the problem.

In the climbing worls, "Amazon kills people" is a common mantra.
