Why Ropes kink or twist and what to do about it [dubbed]

📢 This video was recorded in German. For the use on this channel we dubbed it to English. Hence the weird voice :) We think this way it is more accessible for all then a German video. 📢 Kinks and twists in ropes are a frequently observed phenomenon. There is probably no one to whom this hasnt happened yet. Where does the problem come from? From the rope? From the belay device? From the user? Kinks do not reduce the strength of ropes, but they do interfere massively with the overall handling. However, there are also known accident caused by them: When lowering, the mechanism of the belay device is operated with one hand and the rope runs through the second hand, the braking hand. If, during a rapid lowering, a stable kink runs unnoticed into the braking hand, it can push open the fingers of the hand, causing the loss of control of the braking rope. Kinks and Twists are therefore not only annoying, but can even be dangerous. It is therefore important to avoid them in the rope as much as possible. So how do they form and how can they be avoided?
