Abstract :The strengths and weaknesses of Figure Eight Loops and standard Bowlines as harness tie-in knots are analysed and compared with reference to qualitative details and quantitative data. Their anchoring applications are discussed briefly as well. Attention is paid to variants and the importance of backup knots. Further, causes of error, knot failure, close calls and accidents, behavioural and technical redundancy, and variable standards of practice are examined. These knots are compared in terms of strength, elasticity as a function of sinuosity, and structural integrity by way of concatenation. Security is analysed using topological twist fluctuation and circulation energies.
