    My favorite device cannot be any Petzel device just because of the cost. In my opinion, the best safety/functionality-to-cost ratio is the mammut smart, but if we add the bonus of comfort I would say bd pilot is close winner. I still chose the smart.

    What did you expect? Dirt acts like sandpaper on the rope. A rock is not a smooth blade. Switch that smooth blade out for some dirty hard-core rocks and you'll get roughly the same result as a dirty rope.

    Back some 17 years ago I actually tested to fall on a 60 cm dyneema sling in an indoor gym where I worked. Nothingbrokean d I was uninjured, that's not to say it didn't hurt or it was a good experience.That was the most static catch I ever had and one of the most stupid experiments I've done. Had the sling been 120cm or more I would surely broken my pelvis, this is where I felt the hardest strain. Great vid!

    Late to the party: I wonder if having a loose or tight knot initially substantially changes how hard of a dynamic jerk would be needed to make a rope fail. I suspect either would be much higher than any fall could possibly cause without a defect

    I'm no climber, but i came up with this silly idea that probably isn't very practical but would be interesting to see tested anyway. To me, it seems like high friction between the rope and the surface it slides along is the main issue, and that you'd would want to limit that friction as much as possible, so here is my proposition: Instead of relying on built in sleeves and their often taut fibers for cut/abrasion resistance, would it be possible to use some sort of removable (and replaceable) sleeve made from a flexible low friction material? Something like a thin PTFE tube that's split open in some way (perhaps a slight spiral cut?) in order to be more easily attachable/detachable. The idea being that these sleeves stay somewhat in place where you fit them on the rope, but can slide and rotate with relative ease when necessary, creating a low friction barrier between the taut rope and sharp rocks. The situation where I'd imagine this would be most useful would probably be in a cave exploration or similar scenario where the rope is relatively static, but is constantly in contact with sharp/abrasive surfaces it could shift across. if this idea is even feasible, it would probably increase the complexity of and planning required for a climb, as these sleeves could potentially get in the way of gripping the rope or letting the rope pass through equipment. I do have some concerns that the sleeve could be twisted off the rope by accident under extreme conditions, though that may be possible to mitigate by changing from using plain tubing that's split open to a custom profile that has a tapered overlapping joint. As mentioned above, i don't really climb and have no plans to, and I'm not really interested in investing a bunch of time and money into another project i'm never gonna have any practical use for, so this is as far as I'm taking it. If anyone wants to test it out, good luck!

    Look into the method they used to cut the blocks for the pyramids so precisely. They used long, dull "saws" designed much like the old push/pull crosscut saws used by lumberjacks, but instead of a blade or teeth, they just dropped sand in the groove. It's pretty fascinating how well it works.

    Well detailed, love it 👌 Very nice of them to let you in. I would have been curious to see how does the rope performs on the test they did for the science paper and also on the other tests, even though these tests are providing non repeatable results. As for the name I would call it: Isaac, for obvious falling reasons. 🍎
