Note:
Taped daisy chain used for demonstration purposes. Note:
It IS possible to generate forces in the field high enough
to blow a daisy chain pocket tack.
- Daisy Chains are variable length tie-offs designed to support
body weight ONLY. DO NOT use them as part of your belay or
protection system. They are NOT designed to hold falls.
- Warning:
Do not rely on only one anchor or connect to your anchors
with only one piece of gear such as one Daisy Chain or
one carabiner. Use multiple anchors and redundant connection
equipment whenever possible.
- Warning:
Improper use of Daisy Chains can cause severe shock loads.
When clipped to an anchor (or other piece of gear) with
a daisy, never climb above the anchor. In the event of
a fall the daisy will not stretch, resulting in a severe
shock load to you, to the anchor and to all gear in the
system. This can potentially injure you and can even
cause your gear or anchor to fail.
