I recently spliced up an adjustable friction saver out of Sta-set. This was my first double braid splice that I will be using for life support. Today I actually climbed on it, but I backed it up by girth hitching a sling above the friction saver and placing a revolver on the sling and on my climbing line. Anyway, I was wondering if the splice was done wrong, would it have failed already or can it slowing happen over time. I followed Samsons instructions to the T and I did several dbl braid splices for practice and one that we have been using as a rigging sling. I guess what I am getting at, is how long should I worry about the splice coming apart on me? It will not always be practical for me to back up the friction saver and sooner or later I have to just trust it.
