Re: Velcro on rope?

From the first sentence of section 3.8:

"A ROPE is a strong, thick string composed of twisted or braided strands of manila, hemp, flax, or the like...."

Personally, I'd never describe a velcro strap as a "string." It may be woven, etc, but I'd not consider it a string.

I strongly suspect that the GDC will rule velcro straps to not qualify as any sort of string.

FIRST is not rocket science. But it is like drinking from a fire hose.
