	Cowboy Poetry - Experiment, Roping Terminology
		DALLY: Dally roping is a style of roping in which the roper throws a half hitch of rope around the saddle horn after a catch is made.
		Hard and fast ropers sometimes say, “If it’s worth catching it’s worth keeping,” referring to the fact that the roper can’t turn the rope loose when there is some type of trouble.
		However, with this type of roping a cowboy/girl might get a wild ride because the rope the animal is caught with is “tied on” to the roper’s saddle horn.

	How to Compete in a Roping Event \| eHow.com
		Roping is a fast-paced sport that requires a well-trained horse and a rider who can rope a steer with a lasso while riding a horse.
		A roping saddle has an extra-thick horn to tie the lasso around, which is called dallying.
		Train your horse not to flinch when you're tossing a rope around its head, and to stand and pull backward once the rope has been dallied around the horn to keep the steer from running off.

	Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Information: Beginners: Army rappel
		It involved simply wrapping the rappel rope several times around the biner (clipping thru each time) and usng this as a means of obtaining friction for the rappel.
		We now use what is called Fast Roping which is much quicker to deploy a large number of men from a helo into an area and get the helo out of harms way.
		Fast Roping uses a rope with a diameter of about 2 inches and you simply grab it with both hands (wearing gloves) and the instep of your boots and away you go.

	Definition of Fast-roping
		It is quicker than abseiling/rapelling, although more dangerous particularly if the person is carrying a heavy load because the rope is not attached to them with a descender.
		Several people can slide down the same rope simultaneously provided that there is a gap of 3 metres or so between them, so that each one has time to get out of the way when they reach the ground before the next person lands on them.
		The rope has to be thick, typically 40 mm diameter, to make it easy to hold onto.

		Therefore, fast roping is simply not anything that is needed even if it were something to expect in a frontline combat situation.

		Calf roping's roots can can be found on the ranches of the working cowboys and the skills are still in use today for catching and immobilizing calves.
		While his horse maintains tension on the rope, the roper then throws the calf on its side and uses a pigging string, which he carried in his teeth, to tie any three legs together.
		Like the roping events, the calf is given a head start and is followed by the wrestler and his hazer.

	Fast Rope Cargo Hook from Onboard Systems Selected for NH90 Helicopter
		Fast roping is an air assault maneuver that rapidly inserts soldiers into a combat situation without the need to land an aircraft.
		In addition to having lower maintenance costs and a lower system weight than other fast rope hook systems, Onboard's fast rope cargo hook system offers greater release safety ratings than comparable models.
		"In an emergency situation -- for example, if a rope got snagged on the ground -- the fast rope would exert such a tremendous force on the helicopter that the hook mechanism could fail to open, crashing the aircraft.

		One of the chief capabilities that distinguishes the HRT from the FBI’s SWAT teams is its ability to “fast rope,” a technique where the assault team rappels from a helicopter.
		In addition to fast roping, the HRT also possesses additional capabilities in the maritime domain, including advanced “breaching” capabilities — the ability to circumvent locked doors aboard a ship — and shipboarding capabilities.
		HRT officials said the team’s ability to respond to a maritime incident is unparalleled in the federal law enforcement community because it trains nearly continuously with helicopter-based assaults in a variety of environments, including low light, no light, and onto oil rigs.

		The small unit tactics they performed during the fast roping exercise can be used in a number of situations, but they are intended to be used for inserting the unit on a ship whose flight deck is fouled, according to Lt. Matthew Andrews, EODMU 5’s officer in charge.
		“This is very beneficial because [fast roping] is a perishable skill, and if we don’t continue to stay on top of our game, we could lose the mechanics and basic fundamentals required to successfully perform a helicopter suspension fast rope when the time comes,” Andrews said.
