| Establishing Distance to Exit | Easy, Fast and Accurate | Complicated & time consuming |

| Heat Resistance | It will outlive the rope | When the rope burns "It's all over" |
| Cost Effective | The price nets out to $5.00 for the 100 foot system (See the math below) |
Costly and Labor Intensive |
| 1) Heat resistant rope costs
approximately $1.00 per foot. 2) To make a 100 foot knotted search line you need 115 feet of rope, to make up for the rope lost to knots. 3) That translates to $15.00 worth of extra rope. 4) The 100 foot RIT Rope Safety System costs $19.95. That means the 100 foot RIT Rope Safety System nets out at $5.00, and it is a MUCH better system. |
