A lot of people have answered that if the Ropeman breaks they will be fine but the issue with the Ropeman is cutting the rope not breaking. Somebody should stand on a bridge and throw off two 80# bags of concrete with a ten foot fall and see what happens to a rope with a Ropeman on it. My guess would be it would be fine but I dunno. Seems like guys like to make videos here so somebody probably has the stuff to do it easily.
Well, there was a guy in here recently that hooked ropemto his tractor and his UTV side/side and did what looked like a 3-4 ft snatch on it. He tested a ropeman, kong, and prussik.
I feel VERY SAFE, with any of the 3!!!
Ropes did not cut in half. RM and Kong did tear the outer sheath and “chattered” apparently and slid down the rope about 2-3 feet. (Which I view as a good thing as it gives some dynamic relief to a fall)
Prussik gave the rope a bit of a burn as it slid what appeared to be 6-8 inches
Maybe someone else say this backyard test as well and can link it. Gave me plenty of confidence
