Hello, good day, great job. I have a questions: ¿what is the fall factor and resulting impact force if the anchor where the main carabiner is attached were to fail? Let's consider a person weighing 70 kg with a lanyard of 70 cm, keeping in mind that these chains, on average, have 30 cm of separation between each of their anchors? 6kN ? Wouldn't it be more advisable to use the lower anchor?
It depends. When rappelling into water (especially water with current or hydraulic problems) a third hand can create more risk than it guards against. In dry or semi-dry canyons it is somewhat common for only the first person on rappel to use a third hand and then provide a bottom belay for others in the group.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks, Brent!
this is great video , can you please mention all the rappelling device one by one

What personal safety device are you using there? Looks like a copy of the Petzl Connect Adjust copy?
adjust with a croll as well
Canyonaro!!!!
Do you use a third hand in canyoneering?
I believe they change friction modes and do lock offs when they want to stop. I don’t canyon but in caving it is similar with rappel racks or bobbins.
A VT Prusik by Bluewater is pretty common
