My question is how the impact force is affected by a dynamic pendulum fall with slack, i.e how much force is transfered to the radial force.
Simple sketch:
I've checked the forum on previous articles related to this subject. But they just seem to go off-track after awhile. So I appreciate all input.

If you are nearly on-axis, the pendulum obviously wont affect the load too much, whereas if you are completely horizontal with your pro, the pendulum will have a much larger effect on limiting the load.

The best option would be to test directly the question in the field with a load cell and find out.
I was hoping there was a way to get a rough estimate. By using the kinetic energy, the angle when the line gets under tension, and energy absortion from the rope. Tried looking into viscoelastic theory for ropes, but I might aswell have tried speaking penguin.
Thanks for your input.

Already done, calculated for the worst case scenario, but it's more fun to know things I guess:)
