Forces on the anchors during highline whippers at the Rostrum in Yosemite National Park

Do tight highlines or loose highlines create more forces on the anchor when you fall off and take a whipper. I volunteered to test this out by falling 3x on loose Skypilot webbing from SlacklifeBC and again 3x after tightening it. Results were very similar! This test is interesting if you are always wondering how much force your whippers are creating. Put in the comments if you like these kinds of tests or what tests you want to see in the future.

    Hi Ryan. I personally have no interest in high lining but.........I do like how you rig your gear and the science behind it all. I especially liked your rope swing video. Thanks for sharing

    Hooray! A new HNTHL video! Makes me feel good about those short tubular highlines. Its totally super good enough but the forces are most probably less due to the stretch factor. Thanks Ryan! Thanks Kim!

    I should rig spider silk on a 30 meter highline and whip on it and see what it does to the anchor.... and my back! haha

    Another great video! It's hard to find informative and interesting videos on highlining. I'd be interested in a video about roller biners. It's hard to find much info on them online and what the best ways to use them are.

    Cool stuff. I’m interested to see this test with different kinds of whippers. In all of those you whip really nicely in a rounded fashion. The leash falls that tend to hurt (in my opinion) are the ones where you slip off and almost fall directly down. I would love to see / gear about the different force generated and which felt better. I’ve whipped on a few less than hand tension lines before and all the whippers hurt. After adding some tension the falls were far softer. Thoughts?

    That blue sling on the dynamometer looks pretty ancient and the knot looks dodgy too.

    I had to look at what you were talking about. That is a 6mm button knot soft shackle. They break at 67kn in that condition. Way safer than metal shackles. They are a great tool! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYh72c2QcrzNiJs.html

    Intereseting. You should try detensioning it further and find the point where it starts to hurt. I heard rodeo lines are pretty nasty for leash falls. Length of the line probably affects it a lot.. So I hope you keep puting dynos on there and showing us data!

    I'm quite curious how much tension it would lose just from sitting for a while and from people walking it without intentionally falling.

    When you just put it trough a pulley at the fix point and pull in the direction of the line you only redirect it but don't get any advantage. When you put the pulley on the line instead and run the rope from fix point to pulley and pull towards the fix point you have a two to one. When you pull towards the moving side, the rope you pull on isn't counted, when you pull towards the fix side you count it. At least that is the way i learned it from a rope access technician

    Do shorter vs longer lines next. I guess the short lines will have more force
