That’s one thing I was very wary of before I had it in hand. Its SOLID. All the critical points are steel, and the design is such that it can’t release while the rope is in the pulley without the whole thing breaking.
I agree he shouldn't have said that it's simply not true, the pretzel device looks horrible far more advantages to the rope guide this is a biased review. Your worried about something getting stuck that's never got stuck when you'v used it Why ?? Are pretzel paying or given you this device.
It can be retrieved with a rope without a spliced eye, but you’d have to be careful to snug the retrieval ball on nice and tight so it doesn’t fall off before releasing the device
A simple solution there would be to make the cordage on the retrieval ball a fair amount longer(via throw line or other small diameter cordage) so you could add a couple half hitches backing up your first attachment (girth hitch, pile hitch, etc). At that piont it's almost a guarantee it's not coming off the rope. I've had them come off the rope before relying solely on a girth hitch.

Thanks for these great educational videos!
Nice job on the review. Clear and concise, straight to the point. Thanks👍🏻
The mechanical releases kind of sketch me out if im being honest.

Thanks for showing us the Petzl eject. What size rope will it take?
Thanks for the review of this equipment.
If the rope guide is used in the twin line configuration, it’ll never get stuck. I can’t help but feel this is a bit biased.

The best Point of the art is that you dont have to Remove the Retrieval ball
Am I missing something, or is this only manually set in the canopy and not remote install?
Nope, you are correct.
@@Stridertrees Really neat product, but no real practical application for my style of climbing. I'll stick with my custom AFS.
Does the petzel eject replace or compare to the buckingham tree squeeze in the senseof providing fall protection?
you have forgotten the main advantage of the rope guide, it is a strangler and can to be used on barrels for felling or palm trees!!!!
Can you try the teee squeeze
I would like to!! I don’t have one ATM but I expect to at some point
So the pretzel only works if you have a spliced eye?

Are the systems installable from the ground?
No this Petzl one isn’t. The ART rope guide Twin-line can be
@@Stridertrees thank you!

Hey Graham I’d love to get together sometime I’ve got lots of ideas that may work well for a collaboration:)
