We all know stepping on the rope is bad, although not as bad as it once was with hemp ropes. Even brand new, a hemp rope could break holding a fall. It probably wasn't even a good idea to use harsh language around them. But stepping on someone's nuts, how bad is that? It kinks the wires, which could break eventually. It grinds dirt into the twists of the wires sometimes, which further wears them out. And it's just plain rude.
So look out for each others nuts and treat them with care. You may have to rely on them someday.

i tend to avoid stepping on people's nuts..
i also think it would be physical impossible for me to step on my own..
as i have quite a restricting sack that allows for little down-hanging and free-swinging :?
(why can i sense this thread moving to Community? :wink: )

I would guess a wired nut can handle much more abuse than you can throw at it than by just stepping on it. I know I have abused the hell out of my nuts....
But still, I can see how some larda$$ could kink the wire if they stepped on it just right.
Regardless of evidence, you can't step on my nuts. In fact, I don't want you anywhere near my nuts.
