chriss Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 I was wondering if anyone has seen any fall test data at different test weights than the standards (80&55 kg)? There has been a lot of talk about increased forces for heavier climbers (not that there is anything wrong with that), but I was hopeing for real test data. Half and single rope info would be interesting. chris Quote
foraker Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 At the risk of sounding snarky, could you define what you mean by 'increased forces'? Of course there are increased forces on the rope for heavier climbers, F=ma and all that. Quote
Drederek Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Search this site and find the guys that were pulling stuff apart with tanks a few years back. Might not be specifically what you're asking about but it sure impressed me that climbing ropes and gear is pretty tough. Quote
