I've only simulrapped with experienced folks...that is, someone with 20 plus years (or more) of climbing. That said, it's no more or less dangerous than rappelling in my view. The added time savings are minimal however, and the perceived risk is higher, so why bother. We once rappelled with 4 people off the Oasis down Coonyard late evening (2 parties of 2 so you don't have to trail a line). Lots of double rope rappels: 45 min to the ground which we touched just as the sun set. THAT was damned dangerous as we were hustling so fast.

i'm with you -simul rapping by and large seems like a stupid pet trick
