Not really an idea about how to improve the testing, but maybe for the next video you can try to reduce the device's high-pitched beeping sound on the recording via software or by using a different mic. For my rather young ears, it was sometimes hard to follow your words.
To my young ears, your English and microphone were perfect, I imagine the other commenter was using speakers instead of headphones (or earbuds). Here are my suggestions: 1. Wear Monitoring - Use a high-resolution camera to periodically take close-up photos of the Dyneema line at critical stress points (e.g., where it passes through the Munter hitch) to monitor for signs of wear or fraying. - Alternatively, inspect the line at regular intervals (e.g., every 100 cycles) for physical signs of degradation. 2. Load Variation: - Introduce variations in the weight (e.g., +/- 10 kg) to simulate different user weights and to see how the line performs under slightly different loads. 3. Environmental Factors: - Test the Dyneema line under different environmental conditions, such as wet, dry, dusty, and slightly icy conditions, to simulate real-world scenarios. - You could use a spray bottle for wet conditions or outside in winter for cold conditions. 4. Angle and Direction Variation: - Change the direction of the pull occasionally to simulate different rappel angles. 5. Additional Data to Log: - Record the temperature of the Dyneema every "x" cycles. 6. Comparison Testing: - Test both 3 mm and 4 mm Dyneema lines under identical conditions to compare their durability. - Test each 3 - 4 times.

Thank you!
I’m interested in the setup of rappelling on butt floss.
