I tried to reply to your private to no avail and how much a groundsman could control a log when rigging. I agreee that the weight of the groundsman should not exceed the weight of the log when rigging. Even when groundsman jumps to reduce the shock loading of said load, I think that the substaintial load or friction shold not be controlled in a dynamic manner. Rather a friction devic should be deployed in a static situation to reduce to potential of frittion burn. Many groundman employ gloves to avoid the burn. This is hap hazard and injury inducing. I agreee that when rigging it solely is upon the climber to keep groundsmans safe.
Hope this helps.
