Clipping in with a daisy chain 8-Sep-2010 At 11:19:33 AM EJ

This suggestion might defeat the simplicity of clipping in with a daisy, but you could put a "screamer" or equivalent in the system to limit the shock load to the system. Every dynamic cowstail like system I've seen usually involves an old piece of dynamic that is likely to have very limited stretch.

Another question: has anyone tested at what load the bar-tacking on the daisy chain fails? I know there many posts dealing with double clipping daisy chains, but if you clip a single loop on the daisy and the bar-tacking fails at ??Kn then this would also limit the potential shock load ... unless you clipped the very last loop on the daisy where there is not bar-tacking to rip.
