... the figure-Eight follow through [is] actually the exact same knot as the figure-eight on a loop, except for how you tie it. Instead of tying it with a loop, you first tie a figure eight into the rope and then run the end through your harness and then you "follow-through" to complete the knot. 1, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

Figure-eight followo-through. This variation of the figure eight loop is widely used for climbing for tying on to the rope and for anchoring non-climbing member to a team. A stopper knot should be added. 4, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

Figure eight follow through. There are two versions of this knot; each has a different function. One allows you to join two lines; the other permits you to create a loop of any size in the end of the rope. It's a bit slower to tie than a bowline, but just as effective. 5, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

«Mousqueton de sécurité» est l'unique terme correct utilisé dans la littérature pour désigner la notion de fermeture de sécurité. Du fait de la diversité des fermetures de sécurité disponibles sur le marché(sur le doigt ou sur le mousqueton même), le terme «mousqueton à vis», qui était employé au lieu de «mousqueton de sécurité», ne désigne plus qu'un type de fermeture, au même titre que le mousqueton à baïonnette ou le mousqueton auto-lock. 4, record 3, French, - mousqueton%20de%20s%C3%A9curit%C3%A9
