The Termination Side: This video shows one of many methods to eliminate a knot in the trackline of a highline system. Depicted here is single prusik bypasses; one per each leg of the twin bundled system. The single prusik is a load cell in its own right…if the trackline is receiving too much tension they …

Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object. In this video, the Arizona Vortex is used as a compression member, …

Physics apply to all of our lives. Ropes and rescue and rigging are no different. Pat discusses applied physics of rope rescue, hauling systems and the effects of gravity on raising and lowering objects. Sterling Rope is the Official Rope of Rescue Response Gear’s The Rigging Lab. The Lab uses Sterling’s 11mm HTP Static for …
This video is a segment taken from the Horizontal Rigging Course conducted at the Rescue Response Gear Rigging Lab, during this presentation we will take a look at some basic design considerations in the construction of a simple highline system. Although we address the more traditional highline rigging techniques during the actual course; this …
Rigging The Yoke — Part 1 in the 4 Part Series: “Major Tagline | Pulleys, Rope and Pulley Systems for High Angle Technical Rescue” This video discusses rigging the yoke in major taglines. Major taglines employ two mainlines, and two belay lines at the same time. The two working in harmony, while one is in …
