What are the correct methods and common mistakes in using fire rescue ropes?

An escape rope is a tool used for self-rescue in emergencies such as fires. As people's awareness of fire prevention continues to increase, households often equip ropes for unexpected needs. However, many people do not know the proper usage of the escape rope and the essential accompanying tools. Many believe that a single escape rope is sufficient for self-rescue in emergencies, but this is a serious misconception that could lead to death or severe injury.

Structure and Daily Maintenance of Mountaineering and Climbing Ropes

Structure and Daily Maintenance of Mountaineering and Climbing Ropes

Rock climbing is a sport favored by young people and enthusiasts, with its thrilling challenges and the joy of reaching the summit making it irresistible. Safety is the top priority during climbing. So, what is a climbing rope made of? And what techniques are used in its application? A climbing rope consists of a core and a sheath. The core is made of nylon fibers and is the main load-bearing part; the sheath protects the core. Depending on the use, there are two main types: dynamic ropes and static ropes. Static ropes have almost zero elasticity and cannot absorb impact forces through stretching. They are generally used as fixed lines, commonly in caving and canyoning, and are basically not used for climbing, especially not as a lower protection rope. Static ropes are mostly white, and even if colored, they are usually solid colors. Dynamic ropes can stretch to absorb the impact forces generated by falls and are specially designed for lower protection. In activities where dynamic fall forces are possible, such as rock climbing, mountaineering, and bungee jumping, dynamic ropes must be used. Dynamic ropes are often patterned.
