]]> Comment on How-to: Minimalist’s Slackline setup by Daniel Nilsson http://www.slackline.com/?p=166#comment-79920 Daniel Nilsson Fri, 13 Jul 2012 19:27:25 +0000 http://www.slackline.com/sandbox/?p=166#comment-79920 Juanvi, Please do not use this system for highlining! I don't want to see you dead! A highline generates a whole different magnitude of forces and jumping, surfing or falling on one can generate enough forces to break carabiners, fresh 3/8" bolts, and roll huge boulders that seemed like solid anchors. Especially if you put knots or kinks in the webbing, or load a carabiner across the gate. And using a static line as a backup is reckless, as it shock loads the anchors if the webbing were to break, putting even more stress on the system. If you are going to highline, get a mentor that is extremely safe and experienced, has rigged for years, walked hundreds of gaps and backs everything up, including anchors. Please. Life is too good to die. Juanvi,
