What theory where? To back up this claim you need to demonstrate that the force you can apply with one hand is similar to the force of your entire body weight with a realistic fall factor.

This proves nothing if you've never placed a marginal cam that you have then fallen on. What portion of cam placements have you fallen on? One in 20? One in 50? So if you place a marginal cam 5% of the time, the odds of falling on it are 1/20 or 1/50 x 0.05 .. not very big.
I am not saying you shouldn't test, but I am saying it is still not a gaurantee... |
