4.6 ABSEILING OF 2 PERSONS
When abseiling one person the speed can be adjusted by holding the counterrope. With increased
descending load, in particular by simultaneous use of two persons, the descent becomes
more difficult. By deflecting the counterrope the necessary strength can be reduced.
SKYLOTEC recommends always to work with a deflection on a two-person rescue scenario. Acc.
ANSI the deflection is mandatory for two-person rescues. The bypass can occur via the rope hook
of the Milan 2001 or the ”Bull Horn” of the Milan 2.0.
If working with a deflected rope, the maximum lowest value recommended can be applied.
