Fall Dynamics

Fall Dynamics is a theoretical construct in rock climbing research that characterizes the physical forces and motion patterns experienced by a climber during an involuntary descent, differentiating it from related safety or technique models by focusing specifically on the biomechanical and rope-system interactions governing free falls.
