Gee,0 that's the same way a hangman's noose is rigged. The slack snaps your0 neck!

FWIW, if you take a look at the seatbelts in your car, if0 your car is pre-airbag, they have a section where they overlap and stitch the0 belt, so that it effectively gives a progressive trip forward. With airbags they0 don't do it.

You can get webbing, which has this overlapped stitched section, at sporting good stores that carry professional Rock-climbing gear. They are designed to rip through part way in the event of a violent fall without snapping a hernia or neck (though admittedly the rope has some spring in it as well). Seems they would be designed for the same kind of loads we would experience. Anyone want to test one of these by falling 50-60 feet on a slacked rope. J I have one of these somewhere. I’ll find it and take a picture.
