Inaccurate statement
"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 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
