Now that you mention plastic thimbles, I agree, ratings need not apply. I would only dis-allow use based on CYA. The only potential I could envision would be the thimble working loose from the splice or knot, falling out or becoming mis-orientated.

I wouldn't allow one of my co-workers to use it, only because it isn't designed or rated for the application. But in reality, is it dangerous? Probably not.

Personally I do without the thimble, it just adds bulk to the lanyard, making it more likely to hang up or difficult to pass.

Lookin forward to seeing the Money Tail. :)

So whats the question? ;)

You could just use one of these, as they are rated and designed for climbing.

Does the rope fit the thimble channel appropriately? Whats the application?
