Inaccurate statement

edit

"A study of 8 different bends using climbing rope found that the Butterfly bend was strongest, but recommended the double fisherman's knot for being easier to untie.[1]" I checked the reference source and the double fisherman's was stronger than the butterfly in two of three types of rope tested. I could not find the statement about double fisherman's knot being easier to untie. This seems improbable as this knot is notoriously hard to untie.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Harold14370 (talkcontribs) 01:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
