"The What-If of Highline Failure...Is there a back-up?" - Video
©1997 Kirk and Katie Mauthner 27 minute video with accompanying 5 page report.
$39 US
*video is available in DVD or PAL format*
Is there a back up if the track rope fails? The use of highlines often invokes a word of caution - special training required - as excessive forces can be generated if the track rope is over-tensioned, causing track rope (mainline) system failure; this is indeed, a possibility. To better understand this risk, several highline components and variations are assessed for their performance when a track rope failure occurs. This study shares recent test results as well as recommended rigging techniques to improve highline system safety.
This is not a how-to video for highline rigging. Instead, it is a critical look at what would happen if the track rope failed on several commonly used highline techniques...is there a back-up?
