Kenny,
"Rule of thumb is 1unit for static, lift 1' and drop 1' is 2units force."
I humbly submit that do the catch on undersized rope and the slowdown is slow with smaller force, do the catch on a stout chain and the stop force spike is huge. How the motion is stopped completely affects the...
I think if the guy line is tensioned, it's closing the gap in performance but the two block has a better "down rope" vector situation, going in line with the far lead and the main trunk. IMO In a practical sense achieving tension in the guy would be a pita, whereas the two blocks automates the...
I get you're making reference to Donzelli's fate, similar failure, purportedly a groundie mistake triggered a weak trunk spot.
I managed to (accidentally) duplicate one of his measurements showing 20% higher tension in one side of the rope going through a standard rigging point pulley, Since...
