Now I know why my ears were burning... lol
The industry will never go for a tool that will release you (manualy or automaticly) form a positioning lanyard. So lets explore this anyeay!
THere is not one tool that will do it all so maybe a como set up could work.
As some of you know, I had a manual cut-a-way system a while back by modifying a 3-ring parachut ripcord release system. Its different but it does work.
I've found in one of my old parchute supply books , this web-tape & cord with different breaking strength. So depending on the spacific or rated breaking strength of this web-tape or cord,,, you would either tie it in a loop (Doubling the break strength) or tie a loop at either end so the break strength is as indicated on the package. This gives you freedom to make your set up to suit teh climbers wight.
Now you can use a manual on one sode and an auto break-a-way on the other side of your saddle or even a manual/w auto on one sode & auto on the other.
It really depends on what the climber equires for a spacific job. You now have options in other words.
But remember, this goes against the industry so I doubt they will ever allow anything that will release you from a positioning lanyard while working wood.
Your thoughts?
