i was catching up on some news and saw that there was a rope failure last year that got a LT killed and rope failure was either involved or had a hand in it. whoever sets me straight, understand that i want to know if anyone knows who the vendor of the failed rope was. i understand that the personal ropes were taken out of service because of fraying during testing. i dont know everything but i do know that the rope industry does a good job of self policeing. they have to because as one rope rescue CEO once told me, one bad product failure gives us all a black eye. as i write this, my wife sees me as shit stirring, but i asked her how she would feel if i was killed by a substandard product that could have been prevented by somebody asking a question?
