2. Sorry, No Minors or Children

If you are under 18 years old, you do not have permission to use this site or the information therein. Sewing load-bearing equipment is extremely dangerous, and should never be attempted by someone under 18 years of age. For that matter, if you are interested in climbing or any dangerous or risky sports, the author begs you to consult with your parents and other adults who are experts.

3. THERE IS NO WARRANTY

The information here in no way creates an implied or express warranty or purports to provide information sufficient to create safe or effective climbing gear. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will the author be liable for any kind of damages arising out of or in connection with the website, or your foolhardy attempts to create your own load-bearing gear.

The information in this website is by no means definitive or scientific. Do not think that the results of these experiments are reproducible, accurate, or complete. By reading further you accept that any information in this website is for information purposes only, so as at most to suggest some ideas for your own independent design and subsequent testing for your own specific application. By reading further you accept full responsibility for your actions and absolve the author of all liability as you toy around with this very dangerous type of do-it-yourself project. Any apparent claim or suggestion as to safety within this website has no basis in reality and should be evaluated independently by your own design and testing before being put into load-bearing situations.

THE AUTHOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INCURRED FROM TRYING TO REPLICATE THE EXPERIMENTS RECORDED HERE.

5. LIMITED LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF INFORMATION.

If you are interested in rock climbing, sailing, rescue or any other activity that relies on load-bearing equipment, you should seek expert instruction and only use professionally manufactured, tested and certified gear. A reasonable person does not make their own load-bearing equipment.

Rock climbing, or any other application for load-bearing sewing, incurs real risks and any seam that fails will have severe consequences to life and limb or property.
