all right, I get what you mean now.

But Im still not convinced ... having belayed real light and real heavy persons, everyone got lifted once in a while depending on the fall. me wheighting 65kg i already lifted climbers with 100kg easily, just a matter of how deep you fall.

and in the case of rope of the length of an arm makes a difference in reducing the fall factor significantly (my 10cm, let it be half a meter), I would rather not let out rope because there's so little out i wouldnt risk giving out any more.
you must have great handforce by the way, a tuber kind of device still needs about 300N of holding force of your hand (we measured) in a hard fall, a force i'm already really unhappy with by just holding, let alone letting it slip without gloves will for sure burn my hand. therefore i just lock up and get lifted.

edit: faulty unit, see next comment
