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
I truly appreciate this. Just subscribed. Super informative.
Always informative, always epic
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
Brilliant test. Mega whipping! Many thanks brother :)
That's cool video, I always thinking about the forces before and after leash fall, now i know something, Thanks Ryan ;)
Great video, the forces in the leash would be very interesting
Ryan is just so comfortable standing on cliff edges...
thanks alot! i would love to see it with lo tension as well, important to know you are awsome!
Very informative! thanks alot :) Btw same test on a low stretch webbing would be cool!
A guide for the type of line (stretch) and tension you use for different lengths would also be cool!
Love the science videos
I loved it. Do Moar! Do it for science!
thumbs up for fun on the leash!!👍 please keep doing this videos. we have enough fail army stuff hunting the internet😊
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.

Will soon. I've been holding out for something special coming. Will very soon. Glad you like these!
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?
You forgot to scream “For science!”
Be scientific about it! You're obviously interested in the physics behind it all so keep it up!
Probably could have done the same test at 20 or 30 feet. I like your enthusiasm and dedication though.
I was surprised how much higher the kiltontetwtonts were on the tight line
The moar science the better!
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
Alcove scientifical videos and funny!
Science maaaannnnnnn yeaahhhhh
Mr science man is cool

You have been watching these for over a year now. Are they getting more interesting? What else do you want to see?

HowNOTtoHIGHLINE I liked this quasi science stuff. I really liked the last equalization video; it was very eye opening.
Do shorter vs longer lines next. I guess the short lines will have more force

I think so too. I'm really interested at 100 meters and 300 meters and also at 600 meters. I bet those will be very different.

I would also be keen to see the impact of length on leash fall anchor forces :)

How long of a leash are you thinking??? :) Because our 150 foot "leash" didn't put on more than 6kn... aka our rope jump.

Haha I meant the impact of different line lengths on anchor forces when taking leash falls sorry (max forces)
