17 years ago we had three strand rope which was nearly as dynamic as rock climbing rope!! The point about KN is good though, but we are definatly talking about work postioning, not fall arrest, they are two different things altogether.

The ring on the bridge of a treeMOTION is rated at 30kN. Assuming both rescuer and casualty are connected to this ring, the harness continues to be subjected to a one person load. It is the work positioning system of the rescuer and the bridge ring of his/her harness which carries a 'double' load. For this reason, the ring has a rating which is double the rating required by the work positioning harness standards.
