It ain't breaking

By Ranked #428 - Climbing Accessories and Training October 14, 2009

This is a great replacement for a daisy chain because of the potential disaster scenarios it lets one avoid. Like everyone else has said, this is a static product to be used in static applications only, even though it can hold up to 18kN of force. Do not let this dynamic number fool you: the loops can take that amount of force. Your body cannot. Severe injury can be inflicted by even an extremely short fall on a static attachment. But all that aside, this anchor system is always on my harness--it is absolutely invaluable and was some of the greatest $30 I ever spent!
