Discharge - an event that involves the loss of a climber's contact with the formation after which he climbs. A flight down may end with a collision by collision or fall to the ground.
Historically, the drop brought with it a great danger to the climbing, which resulted from the use of ropes produced from vegetable fibers like wool, sisal or hemp. Such ropes often rattled during a strong jerk accompanying the usually flight-stopping, which in consequence often led to the fall and death of the climber. An essential component of the source of injuries was also the non-use of the mountaineering harness. The rope was tied under the armpits and in the event of a jolt it was easy to damage from abrasion to breaking the ribs.
Nowadays, the quality and durability and availability of good climbing ropes is so great that the drop is devoid of a factor related to the strength of the rope, and in the case of the use of certain and appropriate assurance is no longer burdened with such great risk. In high mountains, on longer flights, however, there is still danger of injury due to contact with the rock, which no security system can completely prevent. Disappearance is now a calculated and normal climbing element, and in extreme cases even a kind of attraction during climbing. Also important here is the widespread use of climbing harnesses of various structures, which, in the event of fall, decompose the impact on large body surfaces (through their construction of wide belts and belts) and allow for a free fall for long rest periods after falling, which is impossible in the case bind directly to the rope, under the armpits. The latter method only allows for a dozen or so minutes of free overhang because, as a result of the inhibition of the blood supply to the shoulders, a person remaining in such overhang after about 10 minutes is no longer able to use his hands in any consistency. Approximately 20 minutes (depending on the strength and construction of the climber) usually results in loss of consciousness and suffocation.
For fall security, the fall factor is crucial. Bibliography
