Bit sad this but I've just been looking through the little leaflet most people throw away attached to a newish petzl croll in relation to "Load Figures"
What I was interested in is how well the croll holds a dynamic fall on a static rope (so something that could be achieved if say you where rigging or de-rigging using your croll).
The petzl pamphlet has some great little tables that clearly indicate it being no good taking a FF1 fall, with ropes failing and pretty high peak impacts. FF 0,5 ropes ok but you'll probably be walking with a limp. The third table says "Static Requests" and seem to indicate high peak impacts (comparable to a FF1) and damage to the rope. So what the chuff does "Static Request" mean?
Any ideas??
Cheers!
