WARNING: Do not use for overhead lifting, support of human weight or athletic or playground equipment, or other situations where personal safety or valuable property could be endangered. The working loads should never be exceeded. Additional care must be exercised when using rope under shock (stress, jerk) conditions. These conditions can reduce working loads by as much as 1/3. Never stand in line with rope under tension; such a rope, particularly nylon rope, may recoil (snap back). Never use rope to secure large flat surfaces or object which could “airplane” or dislodge through buildup of air pressure. All ropes should be replaced if signs of wear, such as broken fibers, are apparent. Misuse can result in serious injury or death.
