Advice from a rope expert:
~ Before using/playing with any rope, learn about how to avoid causing physical injury. Attend peer rope sessions.
~ Basic minimum, you need to learn how to tie safe knots that will neither slip or become impossible to untie.
~ Start with eight metre lengths of rope.
~ Use 6mm hemp. This can be bought on line. For beginners, buy hemp that has been treated. Alternatively, use cotton rope which is soft.
~ Always have triage scissors to hand in case the rope has to be removed in an emergency.
