I used to do professional rigging - if there's a human on the equipment, we'd commonly use a safety factor of 8 when choosing ropes/span sets. So... 800% more than calculated values.

Thank you for your comment. I love learning this kind of thing. When did you decide to replace supplies like that? For example, was it when you saw visible wear and tear or was it after a certain number of uses?

I feel like a safety factor of 8 is fairly easy to achieve with humans? We’re not all that heavy when compared with the tensile strength of a rope.
