Oh no! Not another zigzag :(

[Stubby]

The reason it will hold is the second block underneath

 

So why not do away with he first block if its not needed ?? Should not happen . Design not tested enough . They test seat belts to destruction . Should be the same in my book .

So how does it work if you go for a Loler test on the cracked zigzag, it's going to fail, surely a case of 'not fit for purpose', yet Petzl say it's ok, its not life threatening, hmm...have I missed something here?

they say to retire it immediately you see the crack but that it wont fail on the way out of the tree.

Lots but you'll be climbing for a few years less with the extra strain a prusick puts on your joints so longterm false economy IMO.

Agree with all comments about it shouldn't happen but I'll still be using mine every climb as ain't been to the osteopath once since changing to the zigzag to have my lower back sorted so with that saving I could have bought about 3 I'm the time.

Well said Mr Git:)

[IanW]

I've never tried the zigzag, is it really as good and what every one makes out?

Ian if you ain't tried it you need too but it's not something you can appreciate by 'having a quick go ' you gotta work it use it enjoy it then you'll not want to part with it.

 

Or put simply. Yeh it ok....
