Are girth hitches dangerous?!
🕑 Added 2023-05-10 14:07:30 +0000 UTC3rd of 8 Posts for May. I've got all 4 episodes edited I filmed with Alpine Savvy and I'll be slow releasing them over the next few weeks. I spent ALL week working on our zipline film and got the teams approval and am having an audio engineer level everything out. I'm very excited for that to do well. Finalizing the abrasion tester before a rope manufacturer comes over to do a deep dive WITH THEM today. More on that later.
TODAY'S POST: I tested over 27 girth hitches in 5 different configurations with John Godino from Alpine Savvy https://www.instagram.com/alpinesavvy/. This topic is one of the most engaging on his page so we thought we would explore it with both nylon and dyneema. I was shocked that the dyneema did better than the nylon in a few of the cases. "But what about shock loading it???" We did that too.
