Guiding lines utilize a 3:1 pully system at the bottom staffed with 2 to 3 people. This is the reason the system could potentialy be over tensioned. It's a barometer if you will, for the safety to determine if to much tension is being applied to the system. Basicly if the prussic slips, the system is being over tentioned.
