Unicore rope info - repost of someone else's YouTube video

This is a simple re-post of a YouTube video, hope this doesn't break moderation rules
But I thought the content would be useful and interesting here about ropes, even though the majority here already know what Beal unicore is about

The test I would to see is a FF1 onto a chest ascender with a top ascender above it. Does the top ascender survive the experience if the chest ascender rips the sheath? Rebelay failure for instance (although FF1 is higher than I should ever get). You will fall a short distance and I imagine be able to get back up once you had desoiled your panties.

Does unicore change the outcome? I get the impression it would cut the rope more easily rather than slide. It would be easier to deal with if the core was still there.
