This is a number from Jump Shack/Racer, and is merely asserted without providing without a source or reference. Although the 2015 PRH implies that the same number applies other rigs, there is no way to to know. There is no TSO requirement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmicgypsy 5 #27 June 17, 2019 While it may be an arbitrary number I think that it at least gives you an idea about the force applied. This you could then apply to your own situation and proceed from there. Another words a "ballpark" figure to work with. Also I agree if there is no requirement through TSO then nobody really knows for sure. By the way. How do you know that the number used is Jump Shack/Racer? I'd like to know.
