#32 - Matt and Will on tension knots

Tension knots might be the scariest and least understood malfunction in BASE. In 2019 and 2020, Squirrel conducted surveys in an attempt to get a better understanding of tension knots and their occurrence. In this episode, Blank and I sit down with Will and Matt from Squirrel to have them share what they learned, and some suggestions on how to train our emergency procedures.Read SQRL's paper on tension knots: link -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We want to hear your thoughts about the podcast!     [email protected]  [email protected]   Exit Point is completely self-funded and there are no ads.
