Sounds like you were abusing it! How was it set up? What was it for etc etc?

 

If you were running a lowering rope through it and snatching the top out in big sections then of course its gonna break!!

 

Explain further please.

was a steel karibeaner and was rated at 30kn and it wasnt a huge piece of tree really. . we had lowered the same size/weight section out of an other ash tree on the same job yeasterday. . . . . it could have just been the shock of the tree was too much for it. . . or we were abusing it? . .just seemed a bit extreme to me. . . btw we still havnt found the karibener to see how it broke. . .
