	NSS Discussion Board: View topic - rescue knots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As far as the sheet bend, it is essentially a bowline, a knot which is commonly depended upon in a rescue situation.
		I should point out that by far the most common bends I have seen in use in technical rope rescue systems (and personal rope as well) are the figure eight/flemmish bend and the double fishermans (still, while these knots are quite strong, they can be a bit difficult to untie if heavily loaded).
		Tie the double fishermans as normal (without a safety loop, that's coming) now take a bight with the newly tied double fishermans in the middle and tie a figure nine on a bight or a alpine butterfly using that bight.

		The following straight is the fastest part of the circuit, up to 6th on the gear box and flying through the Mandarin corner and past the sky scrapers down to the first tight corner, Lisboa, for which you hit the brakes at the 150 yd marker and come back to 1st.
		At the end of this sequence, there's a left bend followed by an 80 degree right which has changed this year, as the buildings on either side have been knocked down and the road re-aligned and resurfaced.
		Hard braking at the 100 yd marker and back to 2nd for Fishermans Bend, which is very bumpy.

		The double fisherman's bend used to be the preferred knot for joining two ropes to abseil on.
		It is still popular, but has been somewhat superseded by the one-sided overhand bend due to the fact that it is more prone to catching on sharp edges or in cracks on the pull-down, and is difficult to untie after weighting.
		Then tie another double overhand in the second rope, around the first.
