[QUOTE="moss, post: 906246, member: 7404"] The bounce test in itself is not definitive, it's just one point of information in the overall assessment. If you've done a good job assessing the whole tree and TIP the bounce test is giving additional assurance that the TIP is good. If you do an effective bounce test you will be shocking the TIP much more than you would with your climbing motion. You've put the TIP through a worst case scenario so your climbing load should be much less. If you weaken the TIP during the bounce test you will hear cracking noises. -moss [/QUOTE]
