CONT

Facteur de chute. [...] Il est obtenu en divisant la hauteur de chute libre par la longueur de la corde lâchée(longueur corde lâchée=longueur de corde séparant les 2 grimpeurs). [...] L'UIAA [Union Internationale des Associations d’Alpinisme] pour son test retient le facteur 2 qui est le plus sévère.

CONT

La connaissance du facteur de chute et de ses conséquences sur les techniques d’assurage ou le placement des points d’assurance contribue à une pratique sécuritaire.

CONT

Lorsqu’un grimpeur «dévisse» en premier de cordée l’effort maximal absorbé par la corde, le baudrier et les ancrages dépend en grande partie du facteur de chute (R) : c’est l’amplitude de ce paramètre qui conditionne la violence du choc sur les éléments de la chaîne d’assurance.
