think of the shock loading a base or skydiver gets when they open their canopy, I would call this a severe shock load, but every part of the system is a static component.
and yet they suffer no injures as a result of this?
it would take a fall of 1 metre to get your "dangerous loads" so the myth of slumps onto static rope resulting in one is one I have put to the test often and found no evidence that it is in any way true, sure your dynamic is spongier on falls and thats nice cos you get to do the move you fell off again, but often when working the moves the ability to stay at the holds your falling of is an advantage, so as to be able to try another sequence, without having to climb back up to do so.

due to the Gri Gri not being modified to run on the rope, It would make as much sense as putting an auto locking stitch plate on the rope!
