DYNAMIC DOUBLE CLIMBING ROPES

WHEN TO USE DYNAMIC ROPES
To absorb the shock of a fall up to a factor 2.
Selecting a dynamic rope

The lower the impact force, the softer the fall. Cousin rope shows very low impact force levels, which gives you safety and comfort in case of a fall. Single Rope 1 for use with one single length of rope. Double Rope ½ for use in abseiling with the rope in double.

Instructions for use
Do not use a dynamic rope to maintain position for work at heights; it will cause yo-yoing.

Lifetime of Static climbing ropes
Product lifetime depends on the frequency and the type of use.
A rope could incur irreparable damage due to use at any moment in its lifetime. Avoid all abrasive material and influences, mechanical contact (sharp edges) and contact with chemicals (acids, petrochemicals, etc) .
Damage may not be apparent at first sight when the fibres in the rope's core are affected. Testing of individual ropes is needed.

Average service life :
- intensive use : 3 months up to 1 year
- normal use : 2 to 3 years
- occasional use : 4 to 5 years
In any case, the lifetime of a rope must never exceed 5 years.
