Yep, you do. Not as handy as one would wish, but does take care of some risks.

Oh, sure...thought that was evident from my first post...sorry. Buckingham makes a Tenex prusik loop that incorporates a small diameter ring for these R&R friction savers. It also has a small Tenex loop for slack tending as part of it, too. I cut that off, never used it and it was in the way...

I suppose it can be done, and has...but proper technique with the flipline cuts the chances down pretty low.

I have on occasion, and it works just like the vid shows for this "new" product. More usually I'd switch over to the choked R&R friction saver with DRT once I was up top, using a cable cored flipline for the ascent. Flips better on larger diameters than the FS.

Not stiffer than the very heavy webbing one I have, I can't imagine...also made by Buckingham, as I recall. Mine is 72 inches. http://www.wesspur.com/items/cli201.html

Just seems the same old ring and ring adjustable friction saver to me. Been on the market for decades.
