Are we now saying rigging with dynema is acceptable?

 

not shock loading my pintos, just for redirects.

they will be also connected to poly slings so the stretch should still be there.

don't worry we have all seen the video :001_tongue:

As I understand it, using a rigging rope with stretch in it will mean that the soft shackle made of dyneema wouldn't be shock loaded.

 

that depends a lot on the situation it was used and how much rope was in the system but

 

if you used it on the end of a rigging line and half hitched it first I'm sure that it would take out a large amount of force and shock loading.

 

 

i think I'm going to get a couple to see how they work and use them for connecting my pintos . i think they can be a very useful bit of equipment.
