Tommy B ,There should not be a issue here as the primary connection is using a triple action and into the dead end of your system,Why when you already have a primary connection between you and the injured climber you would then use snap locks to make a second connection I do not understand???This just uses up valuble time..5 minutes goes fast when you start doing more than you need to when getting the casualty to the ground safely. Guys if you have questions regarding comp regulations that you are unclear of you can e-mail me on [email protected]. As part of my capacity as Head Judge for the European tree climbing operations committee and member of the ISA rules committee, I am available to answer these questions if I cannot answer them I will bring it up with the rules committee and get you the answer Regards Didj

Triple action carabinas must be used in any primary or work positioning system.rule 2.2.11 There are a great number of things to take into consideration in a rescue situation. The injured climbers system maybe damaged.This for all intense and purposes means that the connection between you and the casualty should be considered a primary connection. Thereby requiring Triple action connectors. Regards Didj

This is copied and pasted from the DVLA, Medium sized vehicles, with or without trailers Category Description Minimum age C1 Vehicles weighing between 3,500 kg and 7,500 kg, with or without a trailer - weighing no more than 750 kg 18* C1+E As category C1 but with a trailer weighing more than 750 kg. The total weight of the vehicle and the trailer together can’t weigh more than 12,000 kg. The weight of the trailer, when fully loaded, can’t weigh more than the unladen weight of the vehicle 21*, **, *** *Age 17 if you are a member of the armed services. **Age 18 if you got your driving licence before 10 September 2009 and the weight of the vehicle and trailer together is under 7,500 kilograms. ***You can drive C1+E category vehicles at age 18 if one of the following apply: you passed your driving test and Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) initial qualification you are learning to drive or taking a driving test for this category or Driver CPC initial qualification you are taking a national vocational training course to get a Driver CPC initial qualification you had your driving licence before 10 September 2009 Example of category C1+E: A vehicle with an unladen weight of 6,000kg and a maximum weight of 7,500kg pulling a fully loaded trailer with a weight of 4,500kg – total weight 12,000kg. Note: If you passed your category B (car) test before 1 January 1997 you would also have had the entitlement to drive C1+E vehicles. However you can only drive a vehicle and tow a trailer where the total weight of both is no more than 8,250 kg. The old paper licence says it on it but the regulations say different don't be suprised if one day in the future you get an anally retentive cop who wants to inforce it ,remember ignorance is not excepted in court for an excuse.....for not knowing the law....

Big difference between pre 97 C1,E given on the old car license when B was passed and passing C1,E is you are only allowed to drive 8250kg combined,instead of the 12000kg. A 7.5 tonner and big chipper will put you over on the old licence.
