In its simplest form, it can be one or two ropes that bridge a river, enabling the traveller to be supported in their crossing and not be swept away. One rope above another, for feet and hands, may be referred to as a commando bridge . More complicated rope bridges can involve the use of multiple ropes, and boards as footpaths. One of the most complex examples of a culture using these as permanent, rather than temporary crossings, is the Inca civilization .

Image Rope lock.jpg thumb Rope lock, with oval locking ring engaged. Image Rope lock cams.jpg thumb Metal cams grip the rope. A rope lock is a device used in a counterweight fly system to prevent a rope, and the lineset it controls, from moving. It consists of two metal cams which are pressed towards each other so as to grip the rope by compressing it. A long steel handle which is typically red powder coating powder coated or covered by a red rubber grip engages the lock when vertical and releases it when horizontal. An oval shaped steel ring encircles both the rope and the handle to ensure that the lock cannot be accidentally released. Rope locks are designed to only hold in balance loads. They are not designed to keep an out of balance line set in place. Most rope locks are only rated to hold a 40 pound mass pound 20 kilogram kg difference. Misuse of the rope lock is a very common source of rigging accidents, especially among students. For this reason, proper loading technique is very important for safety in theaters. Some more expensive rope locks exist which will not allow an operator to unlock it if it is too out of balance. These reduce the number of accidents, but also cause inconvenient loading situations. Expense also prevents many theaters from adopting them. Most rope locks have a hole through them to allow the set to be padlock ed closed, to prevent accidental use of the set. This may be used, for example if a set piece is flown underneath the batten, and flying the batten would cause a collision. Rope locks are attached to a locking rail which provides structural support and holds them at a level easily accessible for rail operators. When being installed, ropes must be threaded through the rope lock and the safety before it is tied off to the arbor. Category Fly system Stagecraft stub ... more details
Unreferenced date April 2010 Weasel date April 2010 image Surferwithlegrope.JPG 250px right surfer holding surfboard and legrope A leg rope or surfboard leash is a urethane cord attached to the deck of a surfboard, down near the tail. A leg rope plug enables the leg rope to be attached here using a leg rope string. The other end of the leg rope is secured tightly around the surfers ankle with a velcro fastening strap covered in neoprene to provide comfort for the user. The purpose of using a leg rope is to keep the surfboard attached to a surfers ankle at a safe distance. Should the surfer fall whilst riding a wave, the surfboard will not be swept away, thus allowing the surfer to quickly recover his surfboard and return to the take off zone. The leg rope was invented in the 70 s amidst controversy that it was a dangerous accessory. Initially, a minority of people expressed concern that if a surfer fell whilst riding a wave and wearing a leg rope, the surfboard may bounce back and hit the surfer causing serious injury. Although this can happen, most surfers today choose to use a leg rope whilst surfing as it is believed that leg ropes prevent more accidents than they cause.

In rock climbing , rope drag is the friction of the rope plus its weight that the climber feels when pulling a rope through a number of protection climbing protection points, or over rock prominences. A large number of anchor placements, especially if they form a zig zag rather than a straight line, can make the rope drag so bad that the climber can hardly move forward. Let s assume a situation where the rope runs through several carabiners which are not all aligned. By using the equations of Eytelwein s formula Euler Eytelwein to describe the dry friction between the rope and the protection points, the rope drag can be calculated. ref name uleuthaeusser Ulrich Leuth usser 2011 cite web url http www.sigmadewe.com fileadmin user upload pdf Dateien Physics of climbing ropes Part 2.pdf?&L 1 title Physics of climbing ropes impact forces, fall factors and rope drag accessdate 2011 01 15 Retrieved January 16, 2011 ref It can be expressed by an effective mass of the rope that the climber has to pull, which is always larger than the rope mass itself. This effective mass depends exponentially on the sum of the angles of the direction changes the climber has made. Early errors by not using longer runners to reduce the angles at the first protection points are less severe than later errors which is in contrast to intuition. The chances of rope drag occurring can be reduced by using two ropes in parallel instead of just one so that for each point of protection, the nearer rope can be used , or by using sling climbing equipment sling s to extend protection so that the rope can stay in a straight line. If drag still happens, then the climber may need if possible to stop and set up a belay point sooner than expected. Rope drag on a dynamic climbing rope also effectively reduces the length of rope available for absorbing fall energy or, in other words, effectively increases the rope s modulus of elasticity , resulting in higher fall impacts than would be expected using a simple fall ... more details

This effect can be advantageous under certain circumstances, but if it is not a wanted feature, it should be well taken into account. Since shrinkage is more pronounced the first time the rope becomes wet, new rope is usually immersed into water and put to dry before use so that the shrinkage is less than it would be if the rope had never been wet. A major disadvantage in this shrinkage is that many knots made with manila rope became harder and more difficult to untie when wet, thus becoming subject of increased stress.
