If so, is there a corrasponding 'figure 8' effect? The strong ropes broke at ~12kN, this seems very low. Is this what a real rope out in a real climbing situation would break at? If I go for a big factor 2 whipper on a bowline, am I going to generate enough force to potentially break my rope (assuming nothing else breaks) ?
