that's neat stuff. hopefully none of you well ever subject your gear to those kinds of forces (unless you're conducting pull tests of your own).

I think that if a a fall were to generate that kind of force, the poor bastard would be dead before the gear broke anyways, but cool stuff.

Cool vid, but I wish they had shown how much force was being applied in each of those scenarios.

Holy shit, that's some seriously testing. Kinda makes you a little more confident in your gear.
