Just realized my old way of testing the governor rope grip was wrong after a scare in a Boston high-rise
The rope slipped during a test because I was going off feel instead of using the spring scale like the book says. Anyone else have a close call that made you go back to the basics?

Happens with so many things, like trusting a wobbly shelf instead of checking the bracket.

Yeah I learned that the hard way with a bookshelf last year. It was leaning for weeks and I just kept pushing books to the other side. Then one night the whole thing just tipped over. Now I check the wall anchors on anything that feels even a little off. It's not worth the mess or the scare.
