Shockloading is bullshit 29-Apr-2020 At 8:00:36 AM Olbert

I've always thought shockloading in practice was pretty bullshit - especially when they test factor two falls on a dynema with a 80kg weight. If a climber were to factor two onto a dynema there is plenty of stretch in the system which means the dynema would not break. Unfortunately, that stretch is the climber and therefore, it is the climber who will break.

I do wonder about holding ability of marginal gear when there is dynamic loading dynamic loading (ie loading with a bit of movement). And then add to that the change in direction of the loading.
