To avoid repeating a whole thread why don't we put some money on it? Wes and Rick bet money on which force is greater, a short, more static fall on a first bolt and no soft catch or a long whipper with lots of rope stretch and a soft catch.
The loser pays their money to the RRGCC for the Southern Region.

Wes, you are just senseless and daring. I just love those personality traits! Do you drink?

I have been known to enjoy a beer or two on special days (mostly just the ones that end in "y"), how about you?

I love what Rick is doing and can't wait to see the data. To make things interesting, and no offense to Rick, I will bet $25 that the long whipper will have a lower peak force than the short fall. The money will of course go to the coaltion. As a fund raiser, more people should bet as well. Why not have some friendly fun, raise money, and enjoy some geeky science all at the same time? Anyone else want to put their money where their mouth is?
