1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,931 Benvenuti al più ampio studio sulle cadute in arrampicata 2 00:00:08,745 --> 00:00:10,520 Negli ultimi due anni abbiamo 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,850 misurato e analizzato centinaia di cadute 4 00:00:12,850 --> 00:00:15,939 Grandi, piccole, con arrampicatori pesanti e leggeri 5 00:00:15,939 --> 00:00:17,600 e un sacco di attrito 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,620 "Non riesco a fare sicura dinamica così!" 7 00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,719 All'inizio avevo due domante principali 8 00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:27,320 a cui volevo rispondere 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,319 in questo studio; la prima è 10 00:00:29,319 --> 00:00:32,919 la quantità di lasco incide sulla caduta? 11 00:00:32,919 --> 00:00:35,040 Se l'assicuratore dà più corda, ovviamente 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,480 l'arrampicatore farà una caduta più lunga, e se 13 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,000 cadrà verticalmente la caduta sarà 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,440 più dura perché cadrà di più. 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,849 Tuttavia, nell'arrampicata si verifica spesso 16 00:00:44,849 --> 00:00:47,070 un piccolo pendolo, una piccola oscillazione 17 00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:48,960 verso la parete, quindi la domanda è: 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,760 cadere di più riduce questo pendolo? 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,199 Riduce la forza dell'impatto con il quale l'arrampicatore 20 00:00:54,199 --> 00:00:56,719 colpirà la parete? E la seconda parte dello 21 00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:59,239 studio cerca di rispondere alla domanda 22 00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:02,440 "qual è il miglior metodo per assicurare?" 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,760 Compareremo il saltare in alto con 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,920 il fare un passo avanti, e come bonus se cambia 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,040 if the blayer is heavier and as an extra 26 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520 bonus we also compared against the tube 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,680 style soft catches where you let the 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,360 Rope slide through the device and while 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,360 my curiosity started with these two 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,040 questions I actually discovered way more 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,759 including some peculiar cases how 32 00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:30,119 lightweight blayer can cause harder 33 00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:33,159 catch when a heavier 34 00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,040 blay so let's begin now the problem of 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,880 making such studies is a sheer number of 36 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,759 variables every fall is different we 37 00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:44,640 have different weights of the climber 38 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,960 and the Blair the position of the 39 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,280 climber before the fall fall height and 40 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,880 the friction and also the Rope might get 41 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,600 stiffer over multiple fs and of course 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,159 the big one is how the Blair will handle 43 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:01,759 the catch so so I thought okay challenge 44 00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:03,960 accepted I'm going to put a force 45 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600 measuring device on the climber and do 46 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,200 as many different faults as needed to 47 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,560 see the patterns and off we went 48 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,319 measuring and measuring and measuring 49 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:17,480 hundred hundreds of Falls and I was 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400 building a huge database of 51 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,519 results and after a lot of work I 52 00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:27,200 understood something and oh [ __ ] moment 53 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,599 happened what we were actually measuring 54 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,920 was the peak Force to the climber's 55 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,920 harness which happens around this moment 56 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,599 of the Fall however this moment is not a 57 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,680 problem for the climber what is the 58 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,599 problem however is how hard the climber 59 00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:45,440 will hit the wall I always felt sorry 60 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,120 for these lightweight climbers who are 61 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720 slammed into the walls and end up with 62 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,519 broken or sprained 63 00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:57,040 ankles so let's fix that now while the 64 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,400 peak forces should have a correlation 65 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 with how hard the climber will hit the 66 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,120 wall I needed to find a way to prove it 67 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,519 and here I was mounting a camera to the 68 00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:10,080 wall with the hope to calculate the 69 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,440 speed at which the climber would hit the 70 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,599 wall based on slow motion footage and 71 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,680 here was a tricky part due to 72 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,799 perspective Distortion objects that are 73 00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:22,680 further away look smaller and in 74 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,959 addition to that every camera lens 75 00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:28,120 introduced extra Distortion so I really 76 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,439 needed to mount the camera as 77 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:32,799 perpendicular to the climber's falling 78 00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:36,080 plane as possible and it's not like I 79 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,640 can just float the camera anywhere in 80 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,560 space I want but after a bit of root 81 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,000 searching and then a lot of object 82 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,879 tracking combined with a lot of custom 83 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:49,560 code I wrote I got these beautiful 84 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,959 velocity and acceleration 85 00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:54,879 graphs and now we can do hundreds of 86 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:57,920 more fults and make sense of them all 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920 right let's begin with the question how 88 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,159 does different amount of slack affect 89 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,760 the fall what we did was a series of 90 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,319 incremental Falls where the Blair does 91 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,560 nothing basically causing a hard catch 92 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,239 the first fall was with zero slack and 93 00:04:13,239 --> 00:04:15,760 even though it's a small fall I was 94 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,880 swung towards the wall really 95 00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:23,639 hard for the second fall we used about 96 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:26,919 half of arm of slack and despite the 97 00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:29,720 fall being a little bit bigger this time 98 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,759 the peak horizontal velocity was 99 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,560 lower now of course on such overhanging 100 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880 routes the more the Climber Falls the 101 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,919 further the wall gets and that's why I 102 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:44,600 was measuring horizontal speed and the 103 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,639 peak of that speed usually happens at 104 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,080 the bottom of the pendulum and it's a 105 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,520 very good indicator of what would happen 106 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520 if the wall would not be overhanging all 107 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,600 right let's try with even bigger Falls 108 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,720 Charlie was clearly enjoying this yeah 109 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680 subscribe and the result was interesting 110 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,759 the horizontal speed was nearly 111 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,400 identical to the previous fall however 112 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,160 the peak acceleration was bigger which 113 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,080 means that the climber would reach the 114 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,840 peak speed faster so based on this it 115 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,319 seems that having a little bit of slack 116 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:24,720 was better than no slack but having even 117 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,319 more was 118 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,039 questionable however despite us trying 119 00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:31,600 to Mim Mig hard catches these faults 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,960 weren't that hard The Faults were 121 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,560 relatively small and the blayer was 122 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,199 still pulled up a lot and the reason I'm 123 00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,360 saying this is that in the past I have 124 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,160 done similar tests under this bridge 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,520 where I have discovered that once the 126 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,600 fall is hard enough it exceeds the 127 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,360 rope's ability to absorb the impact and 128 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,199 the climber experiences a bounce back 129 00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,639 effect and this causes harder false for 130 00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,680 the climber however when we tried the 131 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,520 same with soft catches there was no 132 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,080 bounce back and the swing was 133 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,280 lower so back to real Rock let's leave 134 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,599 the hard catches for the reference and 135 00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:17,520 see how the soft catches will compare 136 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360 starting with zero slack we can see that 137 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,919 the trajectory of the Fall is more 138 00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:26,000 gradual and that the horizontal speed 139 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479 and acceleration was lower significantly 140 00:06:29,479 --> 00:06:32,479 lower next fall was with half arm of 141 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:35,039 slack and despite the climber falling 142 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:37,720 more horizontal speed was actually 143 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,880 almost 144 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,160 identical so let's try bigger okay 145 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,639 one two oh okay let's 146 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,160 go o that was soft don't you think I I 147 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,039 was too scared to think so despite 148 00:06:57,039 --> 00:06:59,400 nearly pulling my Blair into the first 149 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080 bolt and colliding with him the 150 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,160 horizontal speed again was nearly 151 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,800 identical so at least in this test case 152 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,639 scenario falling more combined with soft 153 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:14,879 catch had no benefits but as they say 154 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,199 one test is no test and that's why I was 155 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,919 rigging another one in the spot where we 156 00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:25,599 will be able to do even bigger Falls 157 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800 falling hardish so we started with zero 158 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,280 amount of slack and Charlie giving the 159 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,680 softest catch he can however the fall 160 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,000 was described as hard 161 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,919 dish 162 00:07:42,919 --> 00:07:48,720 ready yeah one two three 163 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240 falling softer and this time adding a 164 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,240 little bit of slack felt softer for the 165 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,879 climber and also did reduce the 166 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:01,599 horizontal speed by a little bit so 167 00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:03,680 let's see what happens with even bigger 168 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,280 Falls you good whenever you want one two 169 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,039 three 170 00:08:10,039 --> 00:08:14,400 falling take a big pop very soft very 171 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 soft and if we look into the graphs the 172 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,039 horizontal speed was even lower this 173 00:08:22,039 --> 00:08:26,039 time so we went even bigger to 1 and 1 174 00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:30,000 half M of slack which is quite a lot one 175 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,240 two three 176 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,320 falling 177 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,919 woo that was soft but there was this 178 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:41,800 kind of D yeah yeah I I noticed it 179 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,240 myself so this time the climber felt 180 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,160 more jerk on the initial impact of the 181 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,399 Rope however the horizontal speed was 182 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:53,440 further reduced and looking into all of 183 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,519 these faults we can clearly see 184 00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,120 correlation how increasing the amount of 185 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,519 slack decrease reles the horizontal 186 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:02,040 speed into the 187 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,680 wall and since that was contradicting 188 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,519 with our previous findings we had to do 189 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,959 more Falls and in this scenario falling 190 00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:14,200 more was also better you can even see 191 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,920 the visual 192 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240 difference and here is one more example 193 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,519 this time the climber was falling from 194 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:30,040 lower position and we had less friction 195 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,120 once again falling more had softer 196 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,120 impact with the wall so a summary of 197 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,279 this segment is that the swing or the 198 00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:41,320 pendulum into the wall can be reduced by 199 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,800 extra slack however if you exceed R's 200 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,399 ability to absorb the impact the Rope 201 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,399 will bounce the climber back into the 202 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:53,160 wall and then things might be even worse 203 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,120 and obviously falling more gets you 204 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,560 closer to exceeding that limit but more 205 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,720 importantly hard catch can get you there 206 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,839 very quickly so for example here is one 207 00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:08,160 of the most common mistakes where the 208 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,880 bler simply throws a ton of slack but no 209 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,240 effort in making a soft 210 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,240 catch 211 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,440 okay and here is another one first a 212 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,399 soft 213 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:31,040 catch and now a hard one 214 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,839 that okay we had the same amount of 215 00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:40,560 slack but the difference was 216 00:10:41,959 --> 00:10:44,560 massive you can clearly see the 217 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,320 bounceback effect how the climber is 218 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,279 being pulled back 219 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,440 up what was your 220 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,560 impressions one elbow versus two elbows 221 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:59,440 versus three elbows no elbows between 222 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,760 one elbow and two you'll have to measure 223 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,839 that mass masso menos more or less what 224 00:11:04,839 --> 00:11:07,000 it's going to be but I think that's The 225 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,279 Sweet Spot how was no slack at all 226 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:14,720 difficult to give the soft catch it's 227 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,480 difficult to give the soft catch yeah 228 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,959 with no slag is really hard 229 00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:23,560 to hit the timing perfectly yeah so what 230 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,600 we all noticed is that with zero slack 231 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,519 it's really hard to give a soft catch 232 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,000 because you don't have enough time to go 233 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000 down and jump up maybe with the 234 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320 exception If the fall is really big then 235 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,440 the climber is falling for quite a while 236 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,839 and then you have time but on very very 237 00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:42,959 small Falls you would have to have some 238 00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:46,120 cat reflexes and go like super fast but 239 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160 in general the most comfortable was 240 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,120 between half to full arm of slack and 241 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,200 that caused the softest catches for the 242 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,120 climbers and more than that is very very 243 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,600 rarely beneficial and simp simply asking 244 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,160 for some collisions or dragging the 245 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,519 blayer into the first bolt or simply a 246 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:07,600 bunch of extra Pull-Ups for the climber 247 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,279 after the fall and uh the bigger ones 248 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,880 like three elbows like I say between one 249 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,399 and two elbows is The Sweet Spot like 250 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:19,760 one and two is more or less the same for 251 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,760 me personally three is also softer Anna 252 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,959 says but just a little bit harder to 253 00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:31,279 judge again but it's harder to judge 254 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:33,760 when to jump mhm the EAS the climber is 255 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,399 falling faster already exactly exactly 256 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:38,399 now I can see how lightweight blers are 257 00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,800 probably already typing no slack for me 258 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600 I fly up anyway so we actually did 259 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,440 testing on that and we got some 260 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,000 interesting results but before that I 261 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,320 just wanted to quickly say thank you for 262 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,160 all my friends and supporters who helped 263 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,600 in creating all of this study it's been 264 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,079 the biggest project I've ever tried both 265 00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:01,480 in terms of time and energy and money so 266 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,519 it would definitely not be possible 267 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,000 without all of you so huge thank you and 268 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,440 now back to lightweight blers so we 269 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,560 started with zero 270 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,079 slack wa that looked 271 00:13:15,079 --> 00:13:19,160 harder yeah visually and we can already 272 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,160 see something interesting once the robe 273 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,560 gets tight the speed of the climber 274 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,279 starts to drop however as soon as the 275 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,839 blay is pulled off the ground the speed 276 00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,839 of the climber starts to increase again 277 00:13:34,839 --> 00:13:39,440 the climber experiences a double fall 278 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,920 effect okay let's increase the amount of 279 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160 slack we still get this double fall 280 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,880 effect but the horizontal speed is 281 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,160 reduced so let's go 282 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,560 bigger and here we have the same pattern 283 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,880 a double fall but the horizontal speed 284 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000 is even further 285 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,120 reduced so let's try even bigger with 286 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,920 crazy one and a half arms of 287 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:16,000 slack you ready yeah three two one soft 288 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,199 catch and here the double fall effect is 289 00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:22,079 very visible but same as in previous 290 00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:24,560 experiments we see a strong correlation 291 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,320 that the bigger the fall the slower the 292 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160 horizontal speed for the climber so the 293 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,880 softer impact with the wall and while 294 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240 that wasn't a surprise what was however 295 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,800 a surprise is when we swapped her and me 296 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,720 naturally I was expecting that the 297 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,480 heavier Blair should cause a harder 298 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,800 catch for the climber but if we compare 299 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,720 Anna's no slack versus mine you can see 300 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,680 that my catch was significantly 301 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,000 softer 302 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,759 and here is Anna's half arm of slack 303 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:06,600 compared to 304 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,240 mine and same results my catch was 305 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,720 softer again and to be fair we were 306 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,360 asking her to give a soft catch 307 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,000 one two and give a soft catch you ready 308 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,480 yeah soft catch on three 2 309 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,959 1 and finally Anna's full arm of 310 00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:36,600 slack versus 311 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:40,680 mine and to my surprise I was giving 312 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480 softer catches for the climber than the 313 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,480 lighter 314 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,079 belayer however I think this has more to 315 00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:49,240 do with the fact that lighter blers 316 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,000 usually fly up anyway so they don't have 317 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,639 enough practice to give soft catches but 318 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,120 let me give you another example so this 319 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,399 experiment was slightly different 118 320 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:05,639 here Me and Charlie did a bunch of soft 321 00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:08,160 catches but this time we measured the 322 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,079 forces to the climber this was the 323 00:16:11,079 --> 00:16:13,920 average line of Charlie's catches this 324 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,959 was mine and this was the average of 325 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:20,240 averages and we also did some hard 326 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,759 catches for the 327 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360 reference that was much harder all right 328 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,199 and now let's compare this to a light 329 00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,839 Blair no no and the first catch was 330 00:16:36,839 --> 00:16:41,759 really bad in fact as hard as our heart 331 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,519 catches you jumped way too soon you've 332 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,199 got to wait till she sucks you you're 333 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:48,720 down here and when you can feel her 334 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,360 sucking you you push up with 335 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,519 her look at her once she starts falling 336 00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:00,480 you go down up I am getting scared 337 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,680 come 338 00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:10,679 on no now the second catch was much 339 00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:14,160 better but still not what we were 340 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,360 expecting so we did some 341 00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:22,799 practicing oh that was super soft 342 00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:27,120 falling and then this 343 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,919 happened 344 00:17:28,919 --> 00:17:33,919 that look quite nice 12 345 00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:36,960 121 so as you can see experience plays a 346 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,799 bigger role than being lighter and 347 00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:42,400 although lighter blares very rarely 348 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,400 cause hard catches for 349 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,520 climbers however with enough friction 350 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,280 light Blair becomes heavy and actually 351 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,120 recently I saw one really nasty fall 352 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,400 where a bler was a light girl a climber 353 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,760 was relatively light girl a lot of 354 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,000 friction and a huge slam into the wall 355 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,799 and then a poor girl had to get 356 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,960 assistance to get back to the 357 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,799 car and I'm curious did you ever got 358 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:13,520 unexpectedly hard catch from a light 359 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,720 blayer write down in the comments I want 360 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,760 to see how often that happens all right 361 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,720 so we have seen how both slack and soft 362 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,320 catch has a big effect on the fall but 363 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840 there is something even more important 364 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,080 here is a hard catch with no 365 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,720 slack and here is a soft catch with a 366 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,200 little bit of slack so we can see the 367 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,720 best and the worst case 368 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000 scenarios but now check what happens 369 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,679 when the Climber Falls from slightly 370 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:52,080 different position I simply changed my 371 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,840 legs but I was not pushing away from the 372 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320 wall 373 00:19:00,370 --> 00:19:02,530 [Music] 374 00:19:02,530 --> 00:19:04,910 [Laughter] 375 00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:10,719 [Music] 376 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,520 I anticipa a bit too much there that's 377 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,760 why you wear a 378 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,039 helmet that would have been a what was 379 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,200 it a trip straight to the yard a trip 380 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,720 straight to the yard that would be 381 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720 go but if we look into the graphs we can 382 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840 see that this new fall 383 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,400 had harder fall than the hard catch 384 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000 before despite Charlie trying to give it 385 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,159 a soft catch with his 386 00:19:37,159 --> 00:19:40,240 head so as you can see how the Climber 387 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,320 Falls can be more important than the 388 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,200 amount of slack or a soft catch and here 389 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,159 sometimes you can see beginners pushing 390 00:19:48,159 --> 00:19:51,080 away from the wall during the fall and 391 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,280 combine that with another inexperienced 392 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,559 delayer and a hard catch and that's a 393 00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:59,000 good recipe for sprained ankles so so do 394 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,480 not push it's very rarely beneficial to 395 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,520 push away unless you're clearing some 396 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,840 kind of slab but otherwise do not push 397 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,080 now in the second part of this study I 398 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,559 wanted to figure out which blay method 399 00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,840 is the best so we compared jumping up 400 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280 versus stepping forward and also does 401 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,640 that change if the player is heavier or 402 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,280 there is a lot of friction in the system 403 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520 but since all of this is already SL slly 404 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600 different topic I'm going to split all 405 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,960 of this in a part two of this video but 406 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,559 before you go I wanted to share 407 00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:37,400 something with you that you might find 408 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,919 beneficial in order to create these nice 409 00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:42,000 charts that you have seen in this video 410 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 I needed to understand how to take my 411 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,200 messy experimental data and perform a 412 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,600 polom fitting this allows to obtain a 413 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,720 smooth graph that don't lose important 414 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,880 points and chances are if you're like me 415 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,520 math and physics might not be our main 416 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,799 career path and our abilities to 417 00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:03,760 understand such topics either never 418 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,640 existed or are already fading away since 419 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,760 the last time we sat in calculus or 420 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,360 physics class and that's why I've been 421 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,440 really enjoying brilliant.org it's the 422 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,039 best way to learn math data science and 423 00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,440 computer science interactively in 424 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,679 general I see two problems of learning 425 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:24,559 Advanced topics the first one is not 426 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,559 having enough building blocks that lead 427 00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:31,000 into more advanced subjects that's why I 428 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,679 really love their new feature of 429 00:21:32,679 --> 00:21:34,880 learning paths where the platform 430 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,200 progressively guides you from the very 431 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,919 Basics to more and more complicated and 432 00:21:39,919 --> 00:21:42,360 interesting topics personally I'm nearly 433 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,679 done with foundational math and now I 434 00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,279 feel more than ready to dive into data 435 00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:50,279 science and physics that's my two recent 436 00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:52,440 interests and the second reason which 437 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,679 stops us from taking on such learnings 438 00:21:54,679 --> 00:21:58,720 is that it might feel like oh it might 439 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,679 take forever to understand these topics 440 00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:04,600 however just 15 to 20 minutes a day 441 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,240 equals to 100 hours a year and in 100 442 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,919 hours you can learn a lot of things and 443 00:22:10,919 --> 00:22:13,919 greatly expand your Curiosity on life so 444 00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:15,400 if you're curious you can try 445 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,240 brilliant.org completely for free for 30 446
