Kong Energy Absorber how to mount it without killing yourself 9mm and 10.5mm rope Via Ferrata Set

Kong Energy Absorber: How to mount it correctly. You can use it for the Via Ferrata.
Dissipatore di caduta Kong. Come montarlo correttamente con una corda dinamica nuova da 9mm . Da usare anche come dissipatore di caduta per la Via Ferrata
ITALIANO:
Nel video la corda utilizzata è una dinamica nuova di 9mm. Alla fine del video mostrerò la configurazione definitiva con una statica da 10,5mm, La configurazione cambia a seconda del tipo di corda e del diametro della corda. Io peso 60 Kg e ad esempio con una corda da 10.5mm utilizzo la prima configurazione e non la seconda e utilizzo 3 buchi e non 5 e io lascio 2 metri di corda libera con un nodo alla estremità (o una carabina agganciata all''imbrago) . Questo sistema di assorbimento di shock deve essere configurato a seconda dell'utilizzatore e della corda utilizzata. Se usassi la seconda configurazione del video (a 5 buchi) per i miei 60Kg la frenata sarebbe troppo forte e l'assorbimento dello shock non sarebbe sufficiente. - Considerato che la lunghezza della corda è minima (mediamente 130cm) non ha molta importanza se sia statica o dinamica.
🛑🛑🛑 Io consiglio di fare un test per potere fare una configuazione ottimale.
ENGLISH:
In the video, the rope used is a new dynamic of 9mm. At the end of the video, I will show the final configuration with a 10.5mm static rope, The configuration changes depending on the type of rope and the diameter of the rope. I weigh 60 kg and for example, with a 10.5mm rope I use the first configuration and not the second and I use 3 holes and not 5 and I leave 2 meters of free rope with a knot at the end (or a rifle hooked to the harness ). This shock-absorbing system must be configured according to the user and the rope used. If I used the second video configuration (5 holes) for my 60Kg the braking would be too strong and the shock absorption would not be enough. - Considering that the length of the rope is minimal (on average 130cm) it does not really matter whether it is static or dynamic.
🛑🛑🛑 I recommend doing a test to be able to make an optimal configuration.
considering the fact that the rope (the 2 sections that go from the shock absorber to the carabiner) on average does not exceed 130cm, I believe that the lengthening of a dynamic does not change almost anything. Also in consideration of the fact that falls on a via Ferrata involve a much higher factor than a fall in climbing. In climbing the rope is much longer and no shock absorber is used so dynamics are essential. In Ferrata, the rope is very short and the shock absorber must be used. The elongation, and therefore dissipation, of the rope, is minimal so I also use static. It must be clear that it is better not to fall on the via Ferrata.
Conclusion: Static or Dynamic doesn't make a big difference considering that the rope is quite short. About the Shock Absorber. In this test, I used a 9mm rope but...
IMPORTANT📌📌📌: it's important to notice that the configuration changes according to the type of rope and the diameter of the rope. I weigh 60 kg (132lbs) and for example, with a 10.5mm rope I use the first configuration and not the second one and I use 3 holes and not 5 and I leave 2 meters of free rope with a knot at the end (or tied to a carabiner hooked to the harness.)
This shock-absorbing system must be configured according to the user and the rope used. If I used the second video configuration (5 holes) for my 60Kg the braking would be too strong and the shock absorption would not be enough.
🛑🛑🛑 I always recommend doing a test to be able to make an optimal configuration.

The devise is supposed to slip. He did not tie a knot on the end of the rope. The knot is what stops the fall. The slipping of the rope through the devise absorbs fall energy.

[@GiorgioHouse]

NO!!! The device is supposed to slip very slowly and not just with your static weight! It has to hold your static weight and it has to START to slip SLOWLY when you fall (dynamic). That's how it absorbs the energy. You need between 150cm and 200 cm of FREE slope and then the knot at the end, but when you fall the device shouldn't get the knot (the end). I hope I was clear enough.

[@bobblair8482]

@Giorgio House Not according to the manufacturer. A knot in the end of the rope is absolutely required to use the devise.

[@GiorgioHouse]

The knot is an additional safety and serves to prevent the rope from sliding (over) in case it reaches the end. In fact, the length of the rope should be calibrated so that it does not run to the end in the event of a fall. Anyway, this is for experienced climbers. For the other people it's much better to buy a Via Ferrata Kit. Cheers

Why isn't the correct way used in the ferrata set at the end of the video?

Never begin with, or spend so much time showing how NOT do something. That just imprints it in a viewer/student's mind. Look it up. This is text book behavioral modification/learning. And of course No stopper knot is used. A stopper knot is not 'an additional safety feature.,' it's the essential feature. Great climbers have died because of a missing stopper knot. This video is dangerous, it should be taken down.

[@GiorgioHouse]

I didn't put the knot tò show what happens if you make It wrong. It Is Explained. Anyway, people that are not used tò climb often, should buy a "Via Ferrata Kit" (not making It at home) Cheers.
