Samson Dynasorb II Rigging Line 3/4"What have we learned about energy absorption when it comes to dynamic activities that test the limits of ropes and wood? For one, weve learned that tensile strength alone is not all its cracked up to be. For example, no one needs to spell out the result of bungee jumping using high strength cable instead of (significantly weaker) elastic rope. Although an extreme example, the physics are virtually identical when arresting other falling loads,
