Climbing, the gear is all rated to lift 2 tonnes, so a medium sized car. It won't snap with you on it.

Edit: sorry this is misleading, climbing is not harmless, and a lot can go wrong even with good equipment. The point I wanted to convey was that equipment failure is an unlikely cause of problems for climbing

    I don't think it's the ropes that are used that make climbing dangerous...
