i'd have thought once was enough to convince you silky + rope = fall but six times; must have been the shock . Seriously though pete good on you for doing this; am i alone in thinking there should be a section showing all the different tests that have been done by members (either intentional or unintentional but not resulting in hospitilisation or requiring medical attention)?

[Gaynor]

Very good, i remember them showing a silky cut through a rope when i first started college. It sure makes you think.

I remember that!!

Scary stuff...

Great post Pete, thanks.

 

A Silky demands the same respect as a 200T IMO. I've also stopped cutting myself since I started thinking like this!

[Tommy_B]

Great post Pete. Thanks for taking the time. It speaks volumes when a lot of the experienced guys are shocked by seeing that, so it can only go to highlight the dangers for the younger people coming in. Good work mate.

[Ben]

Very good selfless use of your time and experience Pete.

 

 

 

The next one could be, how many pairs of trollies you need to wear to combat a direct Big shot tea bag hit.

.

 

 

 

Please can I volunteer to be the one firing the big shot please, please, please, nothing against you Pete honest.

Thanks for sharing the vid. Thats pretty shocking really. Ive nicked my rope by accident a couple of times, and not really gave it a second thought. After seeing that vid i'll defo be more vigilant

Never mind the slateing Alasdair, thats a good question..........Very good post Pete, I thought it would have taken at least a few slashes at it.

i cna mind watching an american vid very similar, it had a 200lb weight on a rope, they touched it with a knife and it snapped, think it was caving line though....rope is rope though.
