WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 this is a dynamic climbing room one can 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000 take hundreds of these massive Falls and 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.720 it will still provide a soft Landing for 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.580 the climber now if you would pull out 00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.160 the decor strands take one of them and 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.160 untwist it and then dig even deeper and 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.380 try to separate the smallest part of the 00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:21.480 Rope eventually you would get to a 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.880 single filament which is about 10 times 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:25.980 thinner than the human here and it's 00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:28.199 kind of hard to see and during the fall 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.560 this filaments stretch but also they 00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:33.780 slide past each other which creates 00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:35.820 friction and this friction helps to 00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.520 dampen the impact however if we would 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.160 make a rope wet water on the surface of 00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.320 the filaments would act as a lubricant 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.600 this would allow the filaments to slide 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.000 easier past each other reducing the 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.579 dampening effect and potentially causing 00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:53.039 harder catches for the climber now if 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.360 you want to see what happened when we 00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.160 put this Theory to the test or learn 00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.379 more about rope science check out my 00:00:58.379 --> 00:01:01.579 latest video on YouTube
