"15kN generated by a climber? Bull shit. Maybe in theory but given your
body breaks at around 6kN im more worried about your spine."

I don't know about 15kn but you are missing the point. The force at the anchors on a slackline is many times greater than the force initially generated by the person falling onto the lanyards. You can try it yourself, attach a tight cord between two 5kg weighted things, then hang 1 kg weight in the middle. Watch as the 1 kg pulls the two 5kg weights over.
