Hi Martin, glad you liked the video!
For me, if it’s anything other than a quick lazy tie off on a ledge while we re rack gear, or I’m taking a photo type thing, I want everything to be easily releasable under load. Realistically with not much practice a releasable under load tie off, whilst taking longer than an overhand, will still only take seconds.
As an aside a fella I was assessing for a qualification once, by mistake, didn’t make a tie off releasable under load. It was mildly amusing for me to watch but very stressful for him to sort and that’s just on an assessment, not in a real life situation where stress levels are even higher. He did sort it, and pass, but it didn’t need to be as stressful as it was for him!
