Great work on all the testing and publishing of results!

On a related topic of sorts, came across this destruction testing video from DMM on slings. It demonstrates the catastrophic scenario of falling onto a sling attached to your anchor, with interesting results for Nylon over Dyneema. Most climbers would be conscious of the dangers in even a small fall on a static line/sling etc. but this video certainly drives home the concept...

True that the solid test load used doesn’t replicate the shock absorbing characteristics of a human body, but still an interesting demo.
Apologies if already posted somewhere here before.
