The Omega Pacific Rappel Ring is a forged aluminum rap ring for bail-outs and rap stations. Anodized gray for minimal visual impact. Solid construction (not hollow) for 20kN minimum breaking strength (over 4,400lbs)! Rappel Rings are NOT intended for repeated lowering. This device is NOT designed to be used as a rappel or belay device (e.g. ATC, SBGII, Figure-8 or any other friction device), it is intended solely as a hardware alternative to bail-out slings, webbing and cord.
