Quick! What did you pick?

I picked to not climb mountains without ropes.

So...don't climb mountains with a wood chipper attached to you by a rope?

If medical reason is OK then maybe in those cases where an abortion keeps the poor girl sane for the rest of her life you orthodox "lifers" should give her some rope. Care for the life of the young woman, if life is so precious to you.

Thank god he got that roped tied or something could have gone terribly wrong!

Yes.
Also a good idea to check that your safety rope is not on the wrong side of the cut....and not a bad idea to be sure your backup isn't directly below you.
The right failed on all counts and taped the throttle on their chainsaw fully open and pulled off the chain brake.
Right now I feel like they're hovering mid air like Wiley Coyote, holding a little sign saying "uh-oh".

a hammock or hammock chair rely on ropes too, probably save enough.. unless someone sneaks up behind you with a pair of scissors

Thanks

It took me a minute of looking at it to work it out too. The ropes need to be kept under tension for it to work, and at first glance the four corner pieces are much more obvious than the one doing all the work of holding it up.

Yes, the four corner ropes keep it level, the center supports all the weight.

That's really cool! But help me understand the physics. 🤔

How is the upper half being held up, is it really just the rope attached to the middle lower wood that's supporting all the weight?
