How much force is one likely to generate in falling off of a sailboat with a 6 foot jackline and harness? Even if one is in the water being dragged, at sailboat speeds, let's say 8-20 knots, there should not be a sudden stop as for a climber. It seems likely that the extra strength was intended as over engineering to mimimize the impact of sharp edges, salt, sun and such on performance.
