A short one meter of dynamic climbing rope can reduce the shock load significantly in event of a belayer falls off the edge on to his/her anchor. Falling on a static material such as daisy are bad thing. many climbers here argue that falling on the anchor or slip and fall never happens to them but accident record in I&A forum says the opposite of they believe. Now the $2 question they always ask is this; WFT is safe in event of a climber falls off his anchor .
Again, based on drop test, only industrial grade 1" daisy ( used in some rescue operations) Purcell prussic and or tying via dynamic rope will survive the fall factor above 1.25. Everything else could FAIL and you may DIE.
