Destructive Testing of a 105 Foot Slackline - SNAP!

We set up a slackline on a 105 foot span with anchors at a height of 6 feet. We then tensioned the line to typical walking tensions and then cut the tree sling. The tree sling had only a a small 1" harness buckle but no other hardware. In editing we replayed it back in slow motion. Please note, we do NOT recommend doing this at home, cutting a line under that much tensiong is dangerous.

@acodega thats why nobody likes not backed up ratchets...actually nobody likes ratchets at all...go with a multiplied primitive or get yourself some pulleys if you wana do stuff longer than 150 feet.

Fool what if it hit you in the face!

It snaps - what did you expect ?

Why didn´t you set up a melon or something in the way to show the force and the results of a breaking line ?

Keep up the good work though!°

Wow. I had my 30 foot line break at one anchor and send the ratchet block flying into my foot, cutting it to the bone. I don't even want to think what would happen if I had been on a 100 foot line.
