Rope guides and rescue ?

[combined tree services]

was thinking today whilst climbing using my ART rope guide what the guidelines are for rescuing a casualty from the tree on one system that is funning from a rope guide . does anyone have any info on this regarding the use of ny kind of friction saver or rope guide for rescue .

 

Thanks in advance guys

The SWL must be greater than two person, which it will be with a ropeguid and all friction savers so ni worries.

 

Lets say the ropeguide is rated at 24Kn (I dont have the figures to hand but that would be about right!!! ) using a 10:1 safety margin gives you a SWL of 240kgs, well thats two people easily.

Well maybe not!! But it still wont break! You would just have to throw it away if used for 2 big units !!
