Ronin Quick Clip - Spanned Anchors

In this Ronin quick clip, Kevin discusses Spanned Anchors. He talks about usage, angles and the requirement to ensure the system is loaded prior to measuring the angles to ascertain loads on the anchors.

Excellent, very well explained and edited. Stay safe, Jim.

Excuse me.
Is aramid good for the Prusik cord used for span anchors? Can I use something other than aramid?

[@crockoflaffs1]

Loaded versus unloaded, makes it problematic in a real life rescue condition does it not? Do we have that kind of time etc?

Thank you for the solid info. Have you tested it for forces when the load is off center?

[@roninrescue6011]

We have. However it’s a rabbit hole! Depending on rope in service on each side of the focal point, angle, etc the results change. We have also tested it in a TTRS config with a focal point for each device and enough room between for an operator to work. Generally it does not get worse....

@@roninrescue6011 Thank You. I tried this with some back yard testing but I didnt have enough load cells.
