If those items are all used correctly and specified appropriately there should not be anything weaker than the ropeman-rope connection. That's why we talk about it as the weak link.Who's to say the Ropeman is the weakest link? There are so many knots, straps, pieces of equipment that we are trusting our life with. I'm not saying that having a backup isn't smart. I have stopper knots at the end of my ropes for that reason. All I'm saying is that at some point each person has to accept the inherent risk of climbing into a tree.
On a totally unrelated topic I'm thinking of adding a trampoline or a bed of feathers to my pack so in case my gear fails I don't hit the ground. Thoughts?...
Of course you can always screw up elsewhere - but well maintained climbing-appropriate ropes and cords are much stronger, as are well tied, dressed, and tested knots and hitches (possibly more room for user error there).
