The main slot is big enough for operator to double or triple the single rope to increase frictions. Hence, operator is able to slow or stop descent with minimum force.
-
Look up yourself with long bent ears
If you need to stop rappelling to do other operations, just make 2~4 loops around the ears and lock up yourself.
Pay attention to that the loops must be kept under and within bent ears.
