Failed splices? Any evidence?....

[markprz]

Little help here.... ?
I'm looking for evidence of ANY failed splices in the field..
Not break tests results..
In arboriculture... In the field. Recent.. or in ancient history....
Does ANYONE know of a failed splice? Can you document it?
Not broken ropes.. but failed hand splices or sewn splices.
You can PM or DM me... or text me at: 603.325.2701

I do most of the splices for our crew and never had a problem.I do believe that stichtes are more prone to failure cause of wear and tear.
I am not a certified splicer,but even so,my children climb with my splices,same as we,workers,we rig real wood with our ropes and we do trust them

Only thing I can think of is a few abraded amsteel winch lines

You show me a splicing certification that extends beyond employees of a particular company and I'll buy you a beer.

I had a 3/4” double braid single eye sling on a block almost fail. Probably happened on last drop, didn’t completely failed, just pulled the bury almost out until the core was only inside half the resulting longer eye. It was one of my earlier double braid splices. No documentation, I think I just took it apart and respliced it.

A few days ago my 5/8 amsteel eye sling did something similar but not while in use... I went to grab the sling and the eye pulled out about 4-6” of the tail. Turns out my lock stitching broke. I reburied the tail and lock stitched it with para cord this time... I highly doubt that will break. I’m just glad I caught it before hand.

here theres no tree rope splicing,boat people to do it,also naval school(is it correctly said???)
already thought of going to UK to get a certificate,still wouldnt be able to splice professionally in Portugal...a certs co would be the only way

I am surprised That Samson and the other big manufacturers don’t offer brand specific splicing certifications. Its probably to much of a liability...

Yale does or did at one point.

they do certify their house splices...but you cant learn,do it and cert your own without a company(far to much for my business)
