A noose is a slip knot. The rope used to pull a garage door would not be a slip knot, otherwise it would cinch on your your fingers. Identify the knot from the picture and case solved or knot or noose?
Finally someone makes the obvious point. Plus, it couldn’t fit over a mouse sized head.
Ridiculous.
Exactly. A noose is not just a slip knot it has a very distinct look as well. The knot you’d use for the garage door pull is a bowline. A knot that doesn’t slip at all.
Used to have someone working at a local airport that would tie heaving line knots for all the hanger pulls for the smaller aircraft. Old Navy guy, hated the loops that others would tie.
Guess he moved on to working at racetracks.
It looks like its taped together, not a knot at all.
No, it's not a slip knot, it's bowline knot that doesn't tighten when pulled. Which begs the questions:
1. Why do they even need a rope when the garage door has a handle?
2. Why the makeshift handle (loop) at the end of the rope?
1. Some of the crew may not be able to reach the installed handle when the door is up.
2. As for the loop, think mechanics with oily/greasy hands that diminish the grip on the rope - so the need for the loop to wrap fingers/hand around. Plus it gives weight to the rope so as not to sway around and keeps the end from getting frayed.
Wallace said he's never seen such a loop in all his years of racing. He has either never noticed them or is lying. After doubling down with CNN and the View, now he admits it wasn't made for him, but still insists it is a noose. This guy is allowed to travel at 200mph next to other mature drivers?
