I suppose you've got a point Ekka.
When I was doing high ropes course and rock climbing work, we had saftey margin ratios that had to be upheld for insurance reasons. I had that drilled into me for a decade, so I'm a little bit more fussy about safety margins. Maybe its really not such a big deal. <shrugs>
It just *sounds* weak, since I'm used to stuff that's rated about 3x that.
Plus, they say "good integrity under stress and shock loads". But on the other hand, if it's a bunch of 2x4's that you're haulin with it, and the rope breaks... it's just inconvenient. How does the stuff hold up to sunshine, heat, cold, mix, bar oil, dirt, grease, etc etc. Not that you should let the stuff get all over your ropes, but stuff happens. What's the integrity like when its old and dirty, and just when are those lines crossed? You could say the same about my ropes, but my safety margin is a bit higher.
At least its cheaper to replace eh?
