No knot rigging

[Treemoose]

Saw this no knot rigging on one of August Hunicke vids. Was just curious if anyone has used it and what they thought of it.

is that not just the same as a carabiner ? without the locking mechanism ?

Mick Dempsey had a thread about this with something he done similar. I think it's easier for the ground staff to remove?

i think it would be a lot stronger and safer than a karribiner. i think it looks pretty good , the only downside i can see is that its permanently on there.

Here's the thread.

I've actually refined it a bit using this maillon instead of second 'biner. Runs better.

What about the fact that it doesn't have a lock, imagine the worst case, a load came adrift, and someone got hurt, wouldn't want to be trying to defend that one when locking terminations are readily available.

 

For the ubiquitous H&S point of view, that type of connection would be viewed as sacrificing safety for speed.

 

While the "new" system would probably be quicker, the gain in speed would be the time it would take for a biner to snap shut, so no appreciable gain, against a significant sacrifice in safety.

i was assuming it had undergone tests and was deemed fit for purpose ie wouldnt come undone, maybe they are a bit more slack in the states,

Christ don't put any slack in the equation, that's most of the problem:laugh1:

 

The simple fact is the system could be made so much better so why wouldn't you?

Yeah shame its not detachable. I liked the look of it in the vid seemed nice and slick to use. looks like one of those things you might treat yourself to at a show or something to try out.

 

this was the vid anyway.
