Need to get him to test some saddle hunting gear….lol. I know close to what was tested in video but not quite.
Yes sir, those cobra buckles are no joke.i was especially impressed by how well a friction hitch holds on a rope and how much force a cobra buckle can take (although it was configured so the buckle couldn't slide on webbing.....which is what i think it will do first before breaking)

I’m was wanting to get him to do some saddle type dynamic falls from his new drop tower. You can hire him on his website. I wonder if there would be enough interest to raise some money to have him do it. It doesn’t need to be a YouTube video but the results would be awesome.Need to get him to test some saddle hunting gear….lol. I know close to what was tested in video but not quite.
Yes, the forces here are no joke. I'd like to see a ham with a bone in it wrapped in several layers of fabric between the two ropes. This would really give us an idea how easy flesh and bone would break way before any of these ropes or buckles would go. I think we would be shocked at how easily flesh and bone would give in relation to our saddle and climbing materials.
I’d guess between 4kN and 6kN. 900 lbs or more can produce serious injuries.Yes, the forces here are no joke.

I bet it also has to do with how rapidly the force is applied and the area it is applied too. For instance, if my wife steps on my foot with bare feet or a high heeled shoe. There is a big difference.I’d guess between 4kN and 6kN. 900 lbs or more can produce serious injuries.
Absolutely. That’s why dynamic forces are harder on rope and webbing than a slow steady static pull.I bet it also has to do with how rapidly the force is applied and the area it is applied too. For instance, if my wife steps on my foot with bare feet or a high heeled shoe. There is a big difference.
