    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Are reading JohnXP posts or mine? Are you being selective? Or are you simply ignoring JohnXp and just focusing on me...am curious? ... And no - I thought you were the smartest dude here? There are an infinite supply of people smarter than me :) My knowledge is only at a basic level (sorry).

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    I am happy for you to continue these type of comments - I am also happy to be the target of attacks, and to be the assumed villain. Whats happening is that you make inaccurate statements - I correct them - and you don't like it. As stated, I'm happy to be the assumed villain. I think you...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Couple of points to make if i may? 1. These types of documents (in general) only affect manufacturers. 2. The end user just wants a product that works 'out-of-the-box' and is fit for its intended purpose. 3. All standards are 'living documents' - meaning that they are never frozen. 4. No...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Agreed. Despite showing 'John@TreeXP' photos to provide otherwise, it just get lost in translation. I'm seeing a generic repeat of false statements - eg the latest is with regard to the difference between weight and mass (they are different). I have a copy of EN15151-1 (2012). The definition of...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    You are correct in questioning him on this matter. I have pointed this out to him several pages ago - but its lost in translation. The cam on a Safeguard is significantly smaller than a GriGri. Also, the cam on a GriGri is not the smallest in its class. In fairness to him, might need to...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    No - it doesn't. And again, this isn't an insult - its just being technically accurate. You wrote the word size. You also wrote that the size of the Safeguard is twice that of the Roll N Lock. I give up on this... Also, weight is a force due to gravity. Mass is not weight. Mass is the amount...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Perhaps...but it does suggest that this forum is the wild west and anyone can just take pot shots for no actual meaningful reason? The insults are coming from people who have never met each other in person? I think you're right - and any meaning in this topic thread has derailed. But thank you...

    I provided photographic proof regarding the size difference between the Safeguard and Roll N Lock. Did you see it?

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Happy for the insults to keep rolling on... Its interesting how social graces can deteriorate - I guess thats the internet - its all done from behind a keyboard with impunity. You are confusing the correction of inaccurate information with insults. I see that you are doing it again with a...

    Banjo Skank, probably not worth bothering over. Stick to what you are happy with and what works :)

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Thank you. I guess we must have met each other in person? Wow... I'm not sure I can equal that level of insult? How far do the moderators allow this kind of language to progress before taking action? Presumably you have something of a positive and constructive nature to say about harness rope...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Yes - indeed - and I genuinely hope that you learned this lesson? Yes - agreed. And if your raised points are in actuality false or incorrect - correcting them should not be interpreted as 'insulting'. I assume that you feel that your remarks are entirely free of being construed as insulting...

    per Brocky: You are confusing insulting with technical accuracy. and this... I guess you're mistaken if you think these comments aren't intended to be insulting? Aside from your insults... I can give you a modicum of a considered reply: With regard to the Safeguard - nobody is suggesting...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Insults again... The word 'oxymoron' comes to mind (look it up in the dictionary). At the 11th hour, you are trying to escape by redirecting the focus to me - suggesting that I am evasive and false. Its actually the other way around. Most of what you have stated is plainly wrong - and I have...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    John@TreeXp - it appears that you have an ally with Brocky :) More power to you. This thread has deteriorated to the point where you are now resorting to intentional insults. I would say you guys are one step away from a warning or ban - or, this thread will be locked. I don't think either of...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    per Brocky: Brocky - I can say this with conviction...I have never stooped so low as to resort to intentional name calling in this thread. You appear to have crossed the line in this regard. I am merely involved in a scenario of cause and effect. The cause is inaccurate/false statements -...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    You confuse 'disrespect' with correcting your numerous errors and misconceptions. I am calling you out on your knowledge - and you don't like it. So you retaliate... With respect to Madrock, I can save you a lot of time and energy - since i already know how they (and any other manufacturer)...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    The point i am making is that you are fixated on rope diameters with the Safeguard... and yet, you seem to overlook that many of your concerns regarding product liability also apply to adding a Roll N Lock to your harness rope bridge! I can confirm that all manufacturers do not like end user...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    I can see you are fixated on rope diameters. Here's something to ponder: Did you know that the actual rope diameter varies over time? As your rope wears, its characteristics change. Also, your rope s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s under load... causing its cross sectional profile to alter. Lets say that a...

    Rope bridge, finally. Now what knot?

    Its simply an engineering issue... every tree climbing harness is different - just need to figure out best option for the type of harness system you own. Lots of different 'connectors' on the market. Interestingly, Petzl sell an option to retro fit an adjustable rope bridge to their sequoia...
