Default Re: remote suspension/spanline removal

intersting simulator

conclusions:

the vertical load stays at 5x the load even when you change the angle of the rope.

the horizontal load varies depending on the force used to pretension the line

most climbing ropes arnt strong enough for this type of set up if you are using a 10:1 safety factor
