What happens when your foot pops off and you suddenly add an extra hundred pounds or more to your single fingers?

Sticking to what i specified, impossible. You would have to be so strong.. that you are campusing 1/4 inch rails 3 finger open handed doubles, just to get close to holding what you imagine. But then i doubt you will credit me with enough respect to work out why.

But well, i guess ill take a pop at it. If you done the same with 4 fingers, the smallest finger (say the index in this case, as the pinky may just sp off) will reach its maximum load before the other fingers.. so what happens their, is the other fingers force the index to remain at full stretch (or full load). Perhaps you can work out the rest yourself. Or even, the smaller fingers force the bigger fingers into a more dangerous angle.. it could go either way i guess.
