STATIC vs. DYNAMIC ANCHOR DROP TEST (Featuring 157 lbs, 1 meter, and the most unimpressed dynamic system ever made) The ESEE team ran a drop test to see how much difference a dynamic anchor really makes. We used a 157-lb load and let it fall 1 meter, fully expecting some dramatic physics, a little rope stretch, maybe even a “wow” moment. Instead, the dynamic system basically shrugged. Result:Dynamic anchors only reduced the peak force by about 0.5 kN compared to a static anchor. That’s… not huge
