Dumping directly to a speedline generates HUGE loads. Do the math before you consider this practice. Having the line tensioned by the KB and adding loads would likely damage the KB.

You can speed line without dumping heavy loads on to the speed line.

With the speed line slack you can Use a block or natural crotch and a separate rigging line dump the heavy load on the block then tension up the speed line after and use original rigging line to control the speed of the traverse.
