USAGE
Twisted ropes, rotation
Badly twisted ropes, e.g. as a result of the
operator rotating/spinning during ascent/
descent may be dangerous and should be
avoided.
A badly twisted rope may cause a rope
jam that makes the ascender non operable.
In the worst-case scenario the rope can
be forced off the rope grab, with serious
injury or death as a result (if a back-up rope
system is not used).
When descending, make sure the rope goes
cleanly into the rope grab, i.e. that there are
no curls or similar on the rope.
