Dropping the climber too fast is really the belayer's fault not the equipment. You're not supposed to just disengage the break and let them fall. disengaging the break just turns it into any other belaying device and you have to use pull the rope to the side just like any other belay.

I'm not a fan of getting lowered by someone else in any circumstance so I always just go to the top and repel down.
