Did you mentioned anywhere what webbing you used for the test? I did not find it anywhere. Specially the webbing material would be interesting, as this could make a monster difference. A fall factor 1 on stretchy Polyamide is simply not the same as a fall factor 1 on static Dyneema.
Hi Samuel, It is our soft release webbing so a classic polyester. I used a weak webbing for security (less peak force, less risk to be hurt)Behaviour is always better in linelock than in a knot, especially with dyneema indeed. The aim here was to make a comparison of the anchorages strengths with all other parameters fixed
Bonjour Theo, Si tu as le choix ça serait plus sécurisant même si en longline l’effort est plus faible et un backup ancré sous la ligne et noué le plus tendu possible suffit normalement à éviter la projection du banana vers le slackeur.
Hi ! Is any type of linelock is good ?
There is the diamond linelock but I dont see any difference
Super useful video.. However, what about Frost knot? did you test this knot too? since it's one of the most common knots used for backups
Hi Manolo,
Frostknot is even worst!
I used the unfinished nine on this video as it is one of the strongest knots.

Bonjour, recommanderiez vous de faire le backup de longline avec un linelock egalement ou des noeuds suffisent ?
