What tosh. Chain Reactors and PAS's aren't dynamic at all - they're constructed out of standard nylon/dyneema webbing.

You're reading too much into their loose marketing words. When they say "absorbs enough energy to withstand three factor 2 drops" what they mean is it didn't break after 3 factor 2 drops, not that it's absorbing that energy with a low impact force. I mean an 11mm static rope can withstand (and therefore 'absorb') a number of factor 2 drops, that doesn't make it all of a sudden dynamic.
