  • I'd be too scared to do that sport incase the rope snapped. That'd be a terrifying ordeal!

  • @Wiegieboard that's why there are rules in place for competitive tug of war. The rope has to be 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 110 ft long nobody will be able to put enough humans on a regulation rope to brake it.

    Accidents happen when some dumb idiots use small ropes and put too many people on it. In the 50 year history of the International Tug of War Federation not one rope snapped.

  • at 5 min. 53 sec. Latvia (Velconis) is pulling against The Netherlands. You are in the video!!

  • i think that it is greatly underestimated. when people think of tug of war they think of simply pulling a rope. it is actually very difficult to get a whole team to do semi complex manouvres all in sync. the training is diffcult and it is generally extremely ard work. people should appreciate how hard this sport actually is!

  • Most underestimated there is!

  • @MrDanielTynan A rope snapping under the tension that a good team can produce is capable of removing limbs. I've seen it first hand on the docks unfortunately :(
