Awesome. Thanks to both of you for the explanation. It's really an interesting take on the rules for sure. I can't imagine my safety mechanism being a postage-stamp sized thingie shoved into a piece of rock and not being incredibly taxing on everything just by sheer stress of said thingie to break or slip or whatever and then tumble to my icy death. I very much prefer to fall from an airplane and have a very thin thingie to keep me from making a hole in the ground...
