Prueba empírica de resistencia de cuerda estática para rapel (corte de cuerda)

This video shows an empirical test of the strenght a static rope (damaged) for rappelling or abseiling can endure. The test consists in 3 people with a combined weight of 250kg (551lb) hanging in a rope with a complete sheath damage and exposed core. In the exposed core segment there are 10 threads holding the 3 people. In the test, we cut thread by thread to see if the rope keeps holding the weigth. As a simple conclusion, each thread holds approximately 100kg (220.5lb)
