Climbing harness for special forces?
BySvykk97
Hey, Sometimes, soldiers in special forces have to abseil overhead. Is a 'normal' climbing harness sufficient, as long as it fits well and securely, or do they absolutely need one with shoulder straps like these? Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea about this, so I don't know how to phrase it π Thank you in…
Skateboard vs. longboard vs. cruiser?
Hey, I've been thinking about buying a skateboard for a while. However, I'm not sure whether I should get a regular skateboard, a longboard, or a cruiser. Basically, I'd like to use the board for riding β I probably won't be covering long distances, but rather for short rides across the fields, preferably at high…
Rope soft/hard like a bimetal?
ByJalowdog
Hello Community, I need something that can become soft with a tug and is like a stick on the other hand. I was thinking about bimetals, but for my purpose I need something more delicate, more like a ropeπ€ Otherwise I could imagine segments that become like a rod when tied with a cord, but…
Bungee Jump – Do you feel anything when you hit the ground?
ByFubelt
On Saturday, I went to the Verzasca Dam and did my first bungee jump. Everything went well. As a human, would you feel anything if you had fallen into the valley?
What kind of cord for handicrafts?
I thought I'd try making bracelets, keychains, etc. I keep hearing about paracord, but apparently there are a lot more variations. What kind of cord/rope do you use for such work?
Skateboard wheels making strange noises?
Byxiaos
Whenever I drive, they make a strange squeaking noise every half second, just like when I steer. I have only had the skateboard for 3 days so I don't know how to use it, it bothers me so much when I ride fast What could be the cause? What can I do about it?
Climbing ropes are dynamic, i.e. they stretch very strongly under the load of a crashing climber (up to 30, 35 percent in new ropes). This significantly reduces the forces acting on the climber – about as the crumb zone in the car. If this weren’t happening, a climber would have to fear the worst internal injuries when it doesn’t even tear him or his safety chain. A static rope, i.e. a rope extending only 2-3 percent, would lead to such injuries. A paracord that breaks at 30 percent expansion does not meet the standard for climbing ropes. Their purpose of use is simply another and they are designed for exactly them.
Paracord, however, are paragliding lines, so you also fall into the rope or is the fall load lower because it is not statically hit?
The parachute does not delay immediately. Air is compressible and the screen needs a time to develop properly. The catch is drastically reduced by these effects.
Climbing ropes have a special release.
Criteria are among others
This also makes sense somewhere, the rope should not tear and the fall should be as soft as possible (stitch word dynamic rope).
If you now see other applications, such as in your comment on another answer parachute cables: I don’t know about parachutes now, but I assume that static ropes are used here, that is, those that hardly stretch. In addition, many ropes on the parachute and the way it opens are softer than a fall when climbing, so that less breaking load is necessary. I can imagine that the ropes must be lighter and thinner.
Has the standard weight been raised?
It had to google again, because I don’t have all the numbers in my head (I am enough when the release is on the rope), I think the standard door is measured with 50kg, but in other areas 80kg applies.
Do you have a source?
Because actually has a Din Dummy 75kg π€
My knowledge is paracord only a preamble. Of these, climbing ropes with polyamide cores would have to fall. Perhaps it has to do with the test load the test standard. The structure is as good as the same, the elongation is between 28 and 35 percent. Both highly durable, stretchable and similarly resistant to UV, dirt and water.
How do you get on the subject?
Emergency assistance π
Paracord is stable, lightweight and decomposable π
Paracord has a significantly lower breaking load compared to climbing ropes. It is not designed to wear the weight of a climber safely.
Do not consist of paracord π€
Have you got any numbers? the 12kn from the climbing rope I know, but to the paracord in the same strength (I just go out from 10mm) I couldn’t find anything unambiguous except a safe load of around 700 kg. Interesting topic
