Language Update: Nouvelles publications en Français

2022-03-07T18:08:54+01:00

Language Update: Nouvelles publications en Français L'ISA organise et coordonne régulièrement des tests de matériel et techniques de slackline. Nous cherchons à mieux définir nos standards de sécurité, et à promouvoir de meilleurs techniques d'installation et d'utilisation. Ces tests donnent lieu à des publications pour donner accès aux informations au plus grand nombre. Deux de ces publication ont récemment été traduite en Français.  La première concerne des tests de charges cycliques de bloqueurs de sangle. En slackline, le matériel est soumis à des charges changeantes. Le tests de ruptures en une traction pure ne sont pas toujours une [...]

Cyclic Loading Weblocks #2

2021-07-08T08:13:53+02:00

Second comparative weblock cyclic loading tests We tested different webbing lockers to gain insight into fatigue behaviour of weblocks and evaluate the weblock safety standard ISA:51. The ISA Safety Commission did this extensive work in collaboration with the University of Lucerne, department of Engineering and Architecture. The second set of cyclic loading tests have finished and you can find the results in our publication here! Weblock design and material choice have been the focus of many discussions in the slackline community and these tests can finally shine a little more light onto this topic. It appears that most weblocks are [...]

Safe slackline backups – experiments and recommendations

2022-07-06T11:58:18+02:00

What is a safe slackline backup? Use either static or dynamic rope, connected with knots to back up metal parts. Do not use ropes with diameter smaller than 9 mm. Webbing can only be used for lines shorter than 50m and well below 5kN base tension. BEWARE: forces can go above >20kN! In light of the recent fatal accident in Russia, many in the slackline community have questioned the reliability of their tiebacks and backups - especially for longer lines with high tensions. In order to shed some light on the situation, the ISA has performed 58 tests [...]

They are not a serious measure of someone's ability to rig slacklines. If you want to organise your own [...]
