So to investigate the “clean air makes kids dumb” hypothesis, do researchers have the same cohort take tests from 1975 and 1991 to see which is harder or what?

No, they have kids take the test initially and them feed them paint chips and make them retake the test. Anyone who's taken the SAT knows this first hand. They also make you use a #2 leaded pencil to track your exposure to lead over time in a closed environment.

Don't climbers, at least the ones that don't care about being dangerous, usually double their safety ropes?

I figured they probably had a secondary line or were on steadier ground and not actively climbing when taking that picture, it just makes me nervous.

Ho, they had a parachute. I was wondering where they wanted to go with that giant knot in the way and no double harness to switch over.

I was thinking the same, but then considered the holocaust of idiocy that would ensue when the harness failed and the chute was released with him still sitting in that bosun chair, now untethered and possibly swept up into the shrouds by convection/turbulence.

Kibayasu posted:Don't climbers, at least the ones that don't care about being dangerous, usually double their safety ropes? There are smaller ropes called twin ropes and half ropes that are used in pairs, but they're used for certain specific climbing situations, mostly alpine style mountaineering where they give advantages (lighter weight relative to rappel length, distribution of load on protection, more manageable when frozen). A single rope is considered unbreakable (as far as falls go, not un-cuttable) in climbing so you don't have to double it, but otherwise redundancy is a rule for knots and anchors and other things that might fail.

Watched a friend of mine fall 30ft down the side of a stacked conex tower we were using to practice rappelling when his carabiner failed. I probably don't have the phrasing correct on it but the gate didn't lock and when he put his weight on it, it opened up and down he went onto asphalt. Broke both legs and his back and had some rough burns on his arms and chest from where he tried to hug the rope to slow himself down. He's able to walk again but not very well. It was pretty awful to see it in person
