Chanta can tell you where to get rope but if you don't have any she can loan you some for the class (please let her know in advance).

It is possible, but we don't recommend it. Polyester is more flexible, stronger, and has a proven history of success with our products. Also, be aware that some fiberglass tape and fabric is asphalt impregnated and will not work well with water-borne products.

You can use fiberglass instead of the provided polyester skin, but we don't recommend it. While fiberglass requires less maintenance, it is actually more fragile than the skin that comes with the kit. The polyester skin will flex when it comes in contact with another object, whereas the fiberglass may crack and require extensive repair at home. If the polyester skin does get a hole in it, it is easy to do a field fix and continue on your way.

No. While you can search for Swanton Bomb after playing From The Top Rope, it is still considered a Trademark Finisher so you can't ignore the "Can only be played after" text as specified in the text of Top Rope.

Flexible materials are not a suitable substitute for hooks or other rigid structures. Materials such as rope will tighten around the piercing, causing the skin to be pulled to one point and rip. More rigid items such as hooks are definitely better choices unless the goal is to tear free (for example in a ball dance or Sundance-type ceremony). In addition, doing this would result in major contamination of the rigging system, on top of the fact that there isn't really any way to sterilize rope.

A. Single strand sling is less flexible than a multipart wire rope sling. Also, a multipart wire rope sling provides a better D/d ratio. A. Up to 1-1/8", 6x25 IWRC. Over 1-1/8", 6x37 IWRC is used. T&D Ultra's are made from 7x19 GAC.

Yes. The material has no negative effect on health. It causes no itching or skin irritation. Heat-welded polyester does not release fibres into the air (which is a cause of medical concern). This is one reason why many hospitals and buildings with air-conditioning systems choose NOVAtherm and NOVAhush.

There are many different types of rope, webbing, chain and cable that can be used for suspension. In general, most suspension groups work with the same materials that are used by climbers and professional riggers. The most common of these are nylon webbing (for attaching to support structures), rappelling rope (for connecting support structures to suspension frames) and parachute line (to connect the body to the suspension frame).

If you let go of the rope one of two safety systems will engage. Either the self locking mechanism at the top will stop you, or the person at the bottom will brake for you. Depending on where you let go of the rope, you can expect to rappel 4 or 5 feet before the safety system engages.

The rope won't break, or get cut. The rope is designed to hold 4500 kilograms. In addition every possible safety precaution has been implemented to ensure your safety and success during this event.

Fire it at a wall to connect. Up and down change the length, left and right change the direction. You can build up alot of energy and really fling yourself across the map after a bit of practice. To move around a bit more freely, hit space to detach, and then hit space again to fire the rope in whatever direction you're going to re-attach. Note: You MUST have at least one re-attach left to do this.

millimetre poly or nylon rope is a good size, with 10-millimetre better in many situations. Smaller diameter ropes may suffice, IF they're 'doubled' up.
