| Technologies | UIAA falls: The International Union of Alpine Associations (UIAA) number of falls is a safety standard where a single rope must withstand 5 successive factor 1.77 falls with a mass of 80kg before failing; double rope 5 successive falls with a mass of 55kg; twin ropes 12 successive falls with a mass of 80kg on two strands. The lab falls create much greater force than a real climbing fall; therefore it is mostly a comparative value. A rope rated for 5 falls will probably not break after 5 falls unless it is old and very worn out. Always closely inspect your rope after a severe fall and consider retirement if any damage is detected. |
