One of my nicknames is eagle eye, for I used to have 20/15 vision.. The Line Never Broke... It's not the weakest link, at least in this case..
I can tell it's a silly bug, by my eyes..
I can tell it's unrelated by knowing some physics...
I have experienced bad spirits, so I am not hating on that idea..
It is what it is, and that is a BAD mistake.. I hope whoever set it up didn't freak out too much. The guy lived right?

Yes.
And guess what the uprights were secured with.
But you're right. It is silly.
A bug flew by and ten seconds later, when the rig was exposed to maximum stress, it failed.
Is there any reason to think the two are related?

"rope, chain, wire," mid-14c., "leader," from O.Fr. guie "a guide," from guier (see guide (v.)); or from a similar word in North Sea Germanic. The "rope" sense is nautical, first recorded 1620s.
