A UIAA test. Fall factor of 2, 80Kg mass, only 8.6KN transferred to the
mass. Must be under 12KN. Over 12KN the body get seriously injured.
I'm working on a Out/In equation, just to play with some simulations in
MatLab.
input=Force, Output=elongation
input=velocity, output=force
etc.


Next step, calculate the spec wich the comercial rope are offered,...
for example, bluewater accelerator 10.5: 8.6 KN, 33,1% dyanmic
elongation,...etc.


Thanks.
