In reply to: Therefore, when it comes to wear and repeated lowering (meaning ropes running over the aluminum), you can expect it to wear and behave much like our oval would.
can be rotated to distribute repeated loadings in different places (though I have
seen some thin rings that became a bit oval, and hence held a particular position).
In reply to: Likewise, when using our Rap Rings, one must be careful not to apply simultaneous, multi-directional loading. In other words, put the load along one single axis. To load them otherwise is to weaken them. Just like a carabiner.
of triaxial loading?
In the particular case at hand, I'd think that any weakening would be slight,
and beyond concern for the range of conceivable loads.

ps: "Wootles drop-tests suggesting..." --huh? RGold, you're suffering forums daze:
no "Wootles" here, though there is a poster of sterling qualifications as a tester!
