Apparently I was viewing this situation wrong and should have had first hand experience before commenting.I will refrain from commenting on techniques in the future,keeping my mouth shut so as not to interfere with my ability to listen.Thank you,rocketsocks for giving me a clear description of the situation that makes sense to me now.I have never had trouble unloading the prusik with just body weight on it,but I've also never loaded it with a fall.I will try your method in a controlled situation to see if I can execute it properly and comfortably.Thanks again.
PS dirtineye can I please have my eyesight back? One eye should suffice,until I learn to rappel properly.

Good enough reason. Best wishes to your health and a speedy recovery. Apologize for any inconsideration on my part.

In reply to: In reply to: http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/181010/ BRENDA MANOOKIN / Daily Herald A 25 year old man from Sandy is attended to after being life flighted from Scout Falls to the Timponeeke trail head. The man, along with his friend were repelling behind the falls when the rope became tangled. When the victim attempted to untangle the rope, he fell 20-30 ft. into the water. He broke both legs and sustained injuries to his shoulders and and possibly his head. "He is in poor condition", Lutenant Darren Gilbert states. The other man ran down the four mile trail and called 911 from Mutual Dell, but there was an hour and a half time delay from the fall to the rescue. The victim was hoisted out and life flighted to LDS Hospital. Apline Loop, Utah, Friday, June 2, 2006 ================================ Does any one wants to guess what happend here ? My guess is that he got the tangles out. Jay
My thoughts exactly :lol:
