I am super glad that you began to make the videos again! I learned from your videos and it helped me to work safely before I went to IRATA courses. And also the videos helped me during my studies because I came already with knowledge and not everything was new for me. Thank you a lot!
The rope that runs to the ground has weight and tension on it. If you were to use an Petzl ASAP, the rope weight and tension would actually pull the rope back through far enough to create a hazard in the event of a fall. When Adrian says, "because of the way the backups react to this", it may be what he's talking about. With 2 descenders, both ropes are equalized (under dual tension). In years past, we used ASAPs for the safety line. About 3 years ago, I started training to always to use dual-self braking descenders, with additional gear (carabiner, pulley, hand jammer) clipped to convert to a haul system, if we need it.
Hello, and thanks very much for your video material which look very professional and clear. May I ask you to explain better why you chose to descend with two descender? And most of all, I am interested in understanding why you chose a NEW RIG and an I’D instead of something else (if there’s a particular reason). Thanks a lot in advance for you answer.
Two descenders reduce the potential fall if one line fails, because both lines are under tension and are "pre-stretched". Notice how much rope he has to pull through at the start of the rescue to tension the track lines. Now image if only one of those lines were tensioned, and it failed dropping you onto the loose line. You would probably hit the ground before your backup even engaged.
So glad you make again new videos. Looking forward to see more videos. Thanks!

Well done! Once again you make it look easy!
That’s cool, never thought of that. Cheers Aide, hope all is well.
i am going to debate on the side of no my argument is based on the fact you safely made it to the ground with no friction krabs
great to see some new videos from you guys
Thank you so much. Looking forward for new videos
Great technique
Simple and smart. Well done

Good question! And there's no answer in 3 years?
Asap was never designed to work in a diagonal axis, new Rig is better because it doesn't have anti panic function. Thus easier to dual operate.

I like the idea of two descenders and no backup :) Where's Adrian tho?
Nice.
Why are you showing fall arrest rescue with rope access equipment?
why still using steal carabiner with no auto lock ? its heavy, unsafe (compare to automatic),slow and has the same load capabilities
Because he's in Sheffield
Steeeel City!!!
That last comment 😂😂😂😂
