Probably been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer.
Has anyone found the rating on the HSS tree rope, used a fall restraint vs a tether or bridge or lineman?
300lbs working load

that 300 lbs weight capacity seems like it is using the same standards as TMA....minimum break strength etc is more standard among climbing ropes and exact/trustworthy/regulated
for instance, a 300 lbs weight capacity stand only has to hold i believe 900 lbs...no way in heck i'd ever hang from a rope with a 900 lbs break strength....(is that same tma standard used here?)......and why should i when i can cheaply buy climbing ropes that will hold several times that amount
This has been asked several times through the years and no-one has been able to get a minimum break strength.
I'm not a fan of HSS, but I will say that I have never heard of an injury due to one of their ropes failing.
The 300 lb weight capacity might also refer to the working load capacity which should be ten percent of the actual break strength, so maybe around 3000 lbs, if they followed the standards.
they settled out of court....
