Similar
to its kindred, the figure 8 knot, the Figure 8 Bend is easy to undo
after a load has been applied to the two ropes you've
joined.
Safety:
Ropes and the
knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If
improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and
you could be the victim! Always use rope with
care and inspect and test any knots you
tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load,
especially your own climbing rope. The danger
associated with ropes under load is often
learned by painful experience.
