A leg rope plug enables the leg rope to be attached here using a leg rope string. The other end of the leg rope is secured tightly around the surfers ankle with a velcro fastening strap covered in neoprene to provide comfort for the user. The purpose of using a leg rope is to keep the surfboard attached to a surfers ankle at a safe distance. Should the surfer fall whilst riding a wave, the surfboard will not be swept away, thus allowing the surfer to quickly recover his surfboard and return to the take off zone. The leg rope was invented in the 70 s amidst controversy that it was a dangerous accessory. Initially, a minority of people expressed concern that if a surfer fell whilst riding a wave and wearing a leg rope, the surfboard may bounce back and hit the surfer causing serious injury. Although this can happen, most surfers today choose to use a leg rope whilst surfing as it is believed that leg ropes prevent more accidents than they cause.

Rope locks are mounted to a locking rail, which provides structural support and holds them at a convenient level for operators. Locking mechanism Two metal cam s, one stationary and one movable, are used to immobilize the rope. The position of the movable cam is controlled by the locking handle. When the handle is raised, the movable cam is pressed towards the stationary cam so as to grip the rope by compressing it between the cams. Conversely, the lock is released by lowering the handle, thus retracting the movable cam away from the stationary cam and releasing the grip on the rope.

In rock climbing , rope drag is the friction of the rope plus its weight that the climber feels when pulling a rope through a number of protection climbing protection points, or over rock prominences. A large number of anchor placements, especially if they form a zig zag rather than a straight line, can make the rope drag so bad that the climber can hardly move forward. Let s assume a situation where the rope runs through several carabiners which are not all aligned. By using the equations of Eytelwein s formula Euler Eytelwein to describe the dry friction between the rope and the protection points, the rope drag can be calculated. ref name uleuthaeusser Ulrich Leuth usser 2011 cite web url http www.sigmadewe.com fileadmin user upload pdf Dateien Physics of climbing ropes Part 2.pdf?&L 1 title Physics of climbing ropes impact forces, fall factors and rope drag accessdate 2011 01 15 Retrieved January 16, 2011 ref It can be expressed by an effective mass of the rope that the climber has to pull, which is always larger than the rope mass itself. This effective mass depends exponentially on the sum of the angles of the direction changes the climber has made. Early errors by not using longer runners to reduce the angles at the first protection points are less severe than later errors which is in contrast to intuition. The chances of rope drag occurring can be reduced by using two ropes in parallel instead of just one so that for each point of protection, the nearer rope can be used , or by using sling climbing equipment sling s to extend protection so that the rope can stay in a straight line. If drag still happens, then the climber may need if possible to stop and set up a belay point sooner than expected. Rope drag on a dynamic climbing rope also effectively reduces the length of rope available for absorbing fall energy or, in other words, effectively increases the rope s modulus of elasticity , resulting in higher fall impacts than would be expected using a simple fall ... more details

Rope tension is the oldest system for applying tension to drum heads and was common until the late 19th Century. A long rope or less commonly, a series of ropes is passed alternately between the top and bottom drum head hoops that are held to the shell by clamps which incorporate holes for the rope s . The ropes are tightened by sewn together loops, usually of leather, which are slid downward to tighten the drum heads and which remain in position by surface tension against the rope. The drum heads thus tightened are not as tense as with the more modern single tension or double tension systems, but offer a historically deep tone in keeping with the heritage of certain music, such as pipe and drum corps, fife and drum corps, or bands of the American Civil War Civil War era.
