Dynamic rope | Dynamic Kernmantle rock climbing rope with its braided sheath cut to expose the twisted core yarns and core yarn plies.

Kernmantle rope has a core ( kern ) of long twisted fibres in the center, with a braided outer sheath or mantle of woven fibres.

Kernmantle rope is rope constructed with its interior core ( the kern ) protected with a woven exterior sheath ( mantle ) that is designed to optimize strength, durability, and flexibility.

Kernmantle rope should be inspected before and after every use for any form of damage.

Kernmantle ropes are still used in sailing and other sports, but the technical requirements are usually not as rigorous as in climbing since those applications are not as safety critical.

Kernmantle construction may be used with both static and dynamic ropes.

Those used in sports tend to be of a lighter weight than those used in commercial applications and rope rescue.

The leaf spring was not used to pull the catapult armature directly, rather the rope was wound around a drum.

Prior to the invention of tension rods drum skins were attached and tuned by rope systems such as that used on the Djembe or pegs and ropes such as that used on Ewe Drums, a system rarely used today, although sometimes seen on regimental marching band snare drums.

When pairs of horses are used in drawing a wagon or coach it is usual for the outer side of each pair to be connected to reins and the inside of the bits connected by a short bridging strap or rope.

A rein may be attached to a halter to lead or guide the horse in a circle for training purposes or to lead a packhorse, but a simple lead rope is more often used for these purposes.

Baudhayana ( c. 8th century BCE ) composed the Baudhayana Sulba Sutra, the best-known Sulba Sutra, which contains examples of simple Pythagorean triples, such as:,,,, and as well as a statement of the Pythagorean theorem for the sides of a square: " The rope which is stretched across the diagonal of a square produces an area double the size of the original square.

" It also contains the general statement of the Pythagorean theorem ( for the sides of a rectangle ): " The rope stretched along the length of the diagonal of a rectangle makes an area which the vertical and horizontal sides make together.

From then on until the early 1950s, both national and international competitions involved a changing variety of exercises gathered under the rubric, gymnastics, that would seem strange to today's audiences and that included for example, synchronized team floor calisthenics, rope climbing, high jumping, running, and horizontal ladder.

25 ft in USA ), 38mm ( 1. 5 ") diameter natural fiber rope for speed, starting from a seated position on the floor and using only the hands and arms.

He interviewed everyone — beggars, street-entertainers ( such as Punch and Judy men ), market traders, prostitutes, labourers, sweatshop workers, even down to the " mudlarks " who searched the stinking mud on the banks of the River Thames for wood, metal, rope and coal from passing ships, and the " pure-finders " who gathered dog faeces to sell to tanners.

Usually, instead of using a safety rope from above, injury is avoided using a crash pad and a human spotter ( to direct a falling climber on to the pad ).

Prudent users allow for a large safety margin in the strength of rope chosen for a task due to the weakening effects of knots, aging, damage, shock loading, etc.

The working load limit of a rope is generally specified with a significant safety factor, up to 15: 1 for critical applications.

A climbing harness is a piece of equipment used in certain types of rock-climbing, abseiling or other activities requiring the use of ropes to provide access or safety ( e. g. industrial rope access, working at heights, etc .).

In an effort to ensure their safety, the accused tied a rope to the temple's statue and went to the trial.

The purpose of the backup is to permit clearing the rope to ensure the safety of passengers ; it usually is much less powerful and is not used for normal operation.

Many — if not most — installations have numerous safety sensors which detect rare but potentially hazardous situations, such as the rope coming out of an individual sheave.

Use of a rope, helmet, and harness are the minimum requirements to ensure the safety of the climber.

Additionally, it can provide greater safety to a climber over DRT or lead climbing techniques as the climber can rig the rope over multiple limbs when using a ground-level trunk anchor.

* Class 5: Technical free climbing involving rope, belaying, and other protection hardware for safety.

However new lighter-weight ropes with greater safety have virtually replaced this type of rope.

A safety release may be used with the rope so that it can be detached from the boat in the event the barefooter becomes tangled in the rope.

A buoyancy aid ( BA ) or personal flotation device ( PFD ), helmet, and spraydeck ( sometimes known as a sprayskirt ) are considered essential while a rope throwbag, knife, and safety whistle are recommended as standard pieces of safety gear.

This can be done via a safety line attached to the personnel in the confined space or by grabbing the personnel with a rope, strap or pole and pulling them to safety.

Backing-up the rope set-up with a friction knot ( autoblock, Kleimheist, or prusik ) such that the slipping of the rope is stopped even if the climber lets go of the control rope provides a measure of safety with regard to the control of the rate of descent.
