Some people in France, light cavers use the petzl rad line and pure line and camp nano wiregates to cave, there is very little info about these ropes because you're not supposed to be used for rappels, however they're used for most of the hardest expeditions while I know you're not supposed to shock load them since they don't have any stretch, but most of the info about them is being purposely witheld by Frances national caving Organisation so it's very hard to know their actual limits and to know how to actually use them safely since the Organisation doesn't want people to use them , and they actually refused to publish research papers about them even tho some people did research them. Since they're so common in extreme caving, especially in dangerous places like glaciers and other countries where rescue is non existent and the dangers much bigger it would be great to see stuff about them like , what happens if one of the two anchors break, is that enough to break the rope ? How hard can you fall of them if you use them to make a lifeline, or is the shock absorbing of our dynamic personal anchors enough to fall on them. Can you break them while coming to an abrupt stop while repelling ? It would be great to see a video on this topic, I love what you do and you're very thorough in what you do, some of your videos improved the safety of what I do in the field. I hope you continue what you do for a long time because most other people who research stuff like this publish the results in research papers only, where it is difficult to extract the information.
