"Scary Stuff" - Review of Mammut Galaxy Climbing Rope - 10mm

I bought this rope (Mammut Galaxy 60m dry yellow) and had it about about eight months. I took very good care of it and did everything the manufacture said to do to prolong the life of the rope. While on a 5.11a sport climb I took about a fifteen foot fall. The sheath where the clip caught me completely blew apart and the core nearly severed. this happened on a smooth sand-stone slab with no sharp edges. I always inspect my rope before I climb, and it was in near new condition. Also that was my first larger fall i've taken on that rope, so it wasn't like it has been over used. I called Mammut and they are sending me a super-safe free of charge. but that wouldn't have done me much good if the rope had completely broke. Fluke accident? or common manufacturing error? Lets just hope it's the first one.
