Saftey Ratings
The saftey ratings for the maxiumum force a new piece of equiptment are as follows:
Slings: 22 kN
Carabieners with gate closed: 20 kN
If a 50 kg climber falls 5 meters over 10 seconds will thier carabiner hold them?
To answer this question we will use the formula F=md/t²
F=(50 kg × 10 m)/(10 s)²= 50 N= .05 kN, so this quick draw would hold
