You've
even said that you expected the blow and checked the lines a few hours before.
If you doubled the lines that should have reduced the stress on any one line.



What? Now you're telling us that you set key line and safety at the same
tension??? You DO know that the safety is to be set BEHIND the key line's
tension so that it's integrety is maintained rather than compromised at the
same time. A safety backs up the main line. It doesn't "share the load." I tend
to set mine so it catches the load at 75% extension of the main, which is high.
Good grief. Game over, folks. Lines NEVER fail!!!!
