Which bridge is it?

 

I don't know if I should say at this point. Would it be regarded as defamatory to a large manufacturer, or worth saying to potentially help someone with the same kind?

Good post Dan.

That's one reason why i haven't strayed from the Weaver. I feel safe with a cow wrapped around me.

 

:lol:

Say the brand bro

Had one do the same thing dan. I think the stitching that came undone is just keeping the 3 pieces of webbing neatly together so probably not immediately life threatening. Feel free to make the bridge. Looks like sequoia to me, same as mine

I would say sequoia. I've had a wire core made up that goes from ring to ring. Had it made before I used the harness as I didn't like the look of the webbing. Although I would think it is perfectly safe and chances of failing are extremely high, I had it done as its all about trust in the gear you use, gives me piece of mind at 30+ feet.

 

And I remember posting about putting a wire core piec in mine and having a reply about being a girl. Not so much anymore.....

I don't think you should hold back dan - could save someone's neck!

It's quite obvious though from various posts on here - seems quite a common thing for the bridge to fail. Not good.

That was my take on it as well Steve.

 

I did replace it after a few weeks....

[Steve Bullman]

LOL Mark. I saw the day through but ordered one straight away. The primary stitching is at the ends I believe, although i'm no expert on how these things are constructed.

if your bridge begins to de-laminate like dans it's time for a replacement, taht said steve is right the load bearing stitching is the grey at the ends but do not continue to climb on a de-laminated bridge as the new laod pattern may then affect the load bearing stitching, not within an hour or so but over a few days/ weeks, stay safe peeps x

I just carried out a thorough Loler examination yesterday and one of the climbers harnesses bridges was exactly the same!!

The worrying part is why did I find it and not the climber!!
