It is explains the difference between simple, complex, and compound pulley systems. How a pulley system may load a component in such a way that it becomes a disadvantage, and may cause an anchor or other component to fail. Within these pages I explain safety, situational awareness, on various ways to rig and use pulley systems, why they work, and how to gain the "Maximum efficiency and simplicity, with a minimum amount of effort and equipment, while maintaining a low risk exposure (Safety Picture). I have included almost 100 pictures and diagrams to help communicate these principles and concepts. With over 40 years of experience teaching, rescuing, working, and fiddling with pulleys and rigging gear, I believe I have some insights not found in any other text on the subject. Thanks for your interest.Douglas S. Hansen
