As posted in a previous thread, I've set up a facebook page to discuss a whole lot of tests that we'll be doing in the very near future.
I totally agree that a single test on a manky old piece of rope means nothing - it's just an example/initial run through of the rig on the day it was first set up.

If anyone wants to know more, look for the facebook page 'Rope Test Lab' and sign up if you want.

I will be conducting some very detailed tests for NSW Fire and Rescue in the near future with Bill Proctor and Mikl looking over our shoulders for a bit of scientific advice.

We've also done a few other fun things - like dropping 3 steel and 3 alu biners 250m onto a hard surface - to be pull tested next week.

Again, sorry that it's on Facebook - it's just a very easy way to get stuff out there for the 250 or so people that have signed up so far.
