Thank you for the video, I was interested to see how the safety rules are in your country abroad. At present on the territory of the former Soviet Union the main guideline for all industrial rope access worker are IRATA rules. Although when I personally was trained in Tashkent, far back in 1993, the most important thing was to attach ropes to two different structures.
I did a whole series going from simple to compound, to complex on mechanical advantages and pulley systems. That should tell you all you need to know.. Besides a 1:1 is basically just a pulley at the top and pulling down.
@@TheRopeAccessChannel Thank you for the new video providing further details. I rewatched the video. What confused my part was the yellow wedding used was only “connected” to one point. I assumed incorrectly there was a unique single point anchor. I see now that was shown to mimic two slings. 🤦🏼♂️.
My pleasure! And thank you for the comment though! I can totally see how in the first video it might have been confusing. Now we have a video that is way more clear! (maybe a bit to clear with those highlights blowing out hahaha) Thank you for helping improve the channel!
02:23 I'm so confused... if that one anchor point gave away, wouldn't it release BOTH your main line and safety? How could that be considered acceptable? Edit: okay so I watched part 2 and I understand about the shock loading. Still, if that one carabiner gave away... I'm guessing carabiners never fail?
Did you watch both videos? Then you see that the rope has always been connected to two independent points of attachment. Never in a single carabiner. If it is unclear, please let me know and ill help you see it.
If a carabiner is not afflicted and in good working order and loaded correctly (closed gate and load to the spine of it)usually it will fail last.Assuming you are using a steel carabiner with 37kN breaking strength you can consider it "bomb proof". Adding another one in the equation you have redundancy.The "tricky" thing is the assessment of the structural point of anchor. You know that the carabiner is tested for 37kN but the structure?Yes there are guidelines about structures and their "ballpark" (should i say minimum?) strength but you don't always have a hefty I-beam available to anchor to. So, many times you have to use your knowledge and your instinct, ex. a tree (that is not rotten inside of course) with a trunk of 50cm in diameter will not have a writing on it about breaking strength but your instinct tells you that is alright to anchor there. The bottom line is that almost all the organizations for rope access talk about the "minimum" requirements of an anchor point,so no one will blame you if you have 4 slings on the main anchor point and another 4 on the backup line with double carabiners in each point.The only thing to consider is the efficiency of that system (time to set it up,plus the complexity). Some times complexity makes it easy for you to miss something.Finally you have to think that even if you use (an exaggerated example) 20 slings and 8 carabiners on an anchor point it all gets down to 2 ropes.I call it the "redundant paradox".To be honest no one wants to use 4 lines and wearing 2 harnesses on! 😆

That is great. Am learning and happy
Rock on!

Yes, the Dutch regulations are a bit less than what IRATA prescribes. That is about the only difference. Also two separate anchor points 👍🏻👍🏻
Kindly share how to set up 1:1 pulley system for rigging. Am Richard from Kenya

Thank you.
When are you play to update level 2 videos
Already have the first L2 rescue out. First we get some rigging videos and then we continue to advanced rescues.

@@TheRopeAccessChannel thank you
Can you go over again the common Dutch rigging example? It was not clear how a anchor failure would not cause both ropes to be lost.
Your comment was right on time. I filmed a quick more clear explanation yesterday. Coming out tomorrow 17:00 CET 👊🏼

this is completely off subject......but what boots are you rocking?
Those are from Lowa. I think Seeker is the model. An S3 work boot. For me super comfortable and have even used them to hike multiple days in.
Please a need the video
What video?
