Hi all. I've been doing some research into srt and the various devices and hitches that go along with them lately. Since I'm not a professional or even well versed recreational climber, this may be a common knowledge question to you folks. How common is it for you guys to have slack go out of your line? Maybe the rope rolls off of a small knot in the tree or a small branch breaks that you didn't know you were over? I would imagine it wouldn't take TOO far of a drop to hurt once everything stops. I wonder if there would be reason to have a system in place to dissipate this force before it was transferred to the body? I picture a tether between your saddle and the Rope Wrench that is sewn in a way that it rips the stitching in a controlled manner therefore absorbing some of the force?
Maybe there's no need, I don't know. I was just wondering and figured I'd ask the experts!
Thanks in advance!
