In any case, this is not enough wind to part a proper
line, properly setup.
The line was setup correctly, showed no chafe and appeared fine. But lines can
NEVER part unexpectedly. NEVER, NEVER, so says Jeff!!!!
And he's right, too. That's why lines have tested SWL values. Long as
you're inside the SWL, you can expect the line NOT to part. In fact,
for lifting lines, the SWL is set at either 1/4 of the tested breaking
strain, or 1/8 of the breaking strain.
Of course, you no doubt got your lines out of a dumpster
somewhere.......
