Its my understanding is that the synthetic line stores no energy so it would still drop to the ground.
From the demonstrations and examples I have seen even with a weight at the end the synthetic cable retains no energy and falls flat. Sounds like a good test to setup and experiment with though.
Thats good to know. I would of never thought that it could dissipate all that energy so quickly especially if it had some weight on the end of it. Scientist I am not - web wheeler I am
