NOTE:

The Figure 8 configuration represents some additional challenges in regard to training and complexity.  Each time the system is reset, the rescuer either needs to pull everything back through the 8 and prussik or undo the entire configuration and re-tie.  This presents the opportunity for error at each lowering of the subject.  The prussik could be mis-tied or not dressed properly, not properly attached to the harness, etc.  Over multiple iterations of lowering subjects, the repetition of the task could create the opportunity for lack of attention to important details.  Although this system is viable, it should only by used by highly trained individuals that have a deep and intimate understanding of rope rescue.
