0Just want to ma00ke sure I get the usage of snap right. Do you say a rope snaps when the tension applied is greater than its strength? What about a thread, string and line?0-

0I sort of understand why you say it's not suitable for muscles but techically, it should be OK too. I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks!0-
