Angular Vector Forces

Angular vector forces occur when ropes are passed through a deviation or a directional pulley. Dependent on the angle created, this can have a multiplying

Fall Factors

A fall factor is a simple representation of the severity of a fall. It can be used to evaluate the potential loadings exerted on the

Knot Terminology

Knot tying has several commonly used terms. The ancient Latin word for knotting is ‘nodology’, the Greek referred to this art as ‘kompology’. These references
