With that belaying technique, I wouldn't trust them either.

    I saw someone get dropped like 20 feet in a climbing gym one time, I think he only got a broken tailbone or something but the fact that can just happen, I don't think I'd want to be on either side of that.

    Wrap the rope in a loop around either your waste or otherwise your palm and shoulder. Keep tense, it could pull tight at any moment. Stay close to the wall. Pull slack to make loop bigger, pull opposite side to make loop smaller, repeat constantly.

    Better advice. Never, ever belay someone unless you are trained and certified. Climbing gyms will usually enforce this rule, but learn to enforce it yourself. It's never worth it to try and wing this skill, you need to know what you're doing at all times.
