note that they demonstrate the dangers of clipping TWO loops on a daisy
a single loop wont have that issue ... a daisy after all is a fully rated sling end to end
tell me how a nylon daisy is going to fail from clipping ONE loop ..
in fact if i was a theoretical "RC experts", id say that using a nylon daisy is 'safer' than a knotted sling (nylon or not) or those PASes for raps
but i wont since in the real world it wont matter ...
when was the last time you heard of a climber dying because they clipped ONE loop of a daisy for a rap setup ... id be interested in the accident report
