Well, if I had to try that for some reason I would make darn sure that the
ropes are
strong and there are multiple ropes just in case one of them fails and there
is a safety net
somewhere along the way to the ground. You may say that testing the ropes is
a test - yes
it is but it's totally separate from testing the whole thing. The same ropes
could be used
to rig a sailing boat say. That's what built-in quality means - by the time
you try to test it
it's way too late.
