No experience with super-thin lines and I'd like to keep it that way, LoL!

I sense some jargon interference: "static line". It could have two meanings in this discussion.

1) Parachutes - "Static Line" is what you attach to the place you are jumping from (airplane, helo, building, etc.) The act of falling/jumping causes the parachute to deploy - the deployment bag is attached to static line which is attached to the building and as you fall away, the parachute is dragged out and (hopefully) inflates. This is as opposed to grabbing a "ripcord" (mis-nomer term) and yanking it to deploy a drogue 'chute that will drag out the deployment bag and parachute. The "static line" is what you hook up to what you're jumping from before you jump out.

2) Ropes/climbing - "Static line" as opposed to "dynamic line" - eh, fellow climbers forgive me - static line is what you might use to rappel on, rescue folks with, raise and lower gear/people. etc. as opposed to "dynamic line" which is what you would be attached to for climbing where you might expect to take a fall that is fetched up short by the rope. Generally speaking, static lines elongate less than dynamic lines under load and may or may not be fall-rated - dynamic lines tend to feel more flexible to the hand and are fall-rated. And the distinctions narrow with certain brands and types of rope these days - anyway, it's a kind of rope, and one that would be suitable for descending from a building, all things remaining equal. (And yes, one could also use a dynamic line for that purpose...)

Then there's the laid (twisted) nylon lines I used to climb/rappel on - think of those ropes as "giant rubber bands" - not something I am afraid of but not rope I would recomend to anyone who didn't cut their teeth on it - I can use it but have no use for it, if you follow my meaning.

Hmmm... "parts is parts..." nope - the rope distinction is not simply useage, but it's not terribly important for this application. But some of us think of ropes when we hear "static line", others think of parachutes - and confused folks like me think of ropes AND parachutes, order depending on context of the conversation...

Sheesh! Hope I haven't confused this worse!
