When snubbing it off like that, there is a high shockload on a very small section of rope. This is worse for the rope than snubbing it off with a block, where there would be much more rope to share the load with more stretch. I would just hold the tail, or have the groundie hold it, and let it...

Its like the Belay Spool, but better. Its not meant to be used with a POW. Making the friction point up top means being able to transfer the load to the climber, freeing the groundie up to land the piece in a tight dropzone. Also, it reduces the load on the top anchor point.
