Could you please tell me what the minimum breaking strength of the rope for the FSH should be? In kilograms or kilonewtons. Thank you

Minimum should be 3-4x your body weight. It's best to go above this significantly for safety. Other factors such as comfort and suppleness are also important to consider.

Thanks. I'm finding with AI next information
How is it measured?

The breaking strength of a rope is measured in newtons (N) or kilonewtons (kN), where 1 kN ≈ 100 kg of static load.

What strength is needed for a person

To reliably support a person's weight (80–100 kg), taking into account knots and jerks, a rope with a breaking strength of at least 22 kN (about 2,200 kg) is required.

Ideally, I need to buy a rope with a breaking strength of 20 kN or 2,000 kg?

That's ridiculous. You won't need a rope rated for 22kN. Something in the range of 5-10kN is more than enough to support your thrashing around, for sure.

Find a 10mm static(nylon)rope. Most of which are rated for 9kN and above, and you're set.

Thank you very much. I already have a 10 mm synthetic rope with a core; visually, it should definitely be long enough. Well, I started looking into the specs and got a little confused by the ratings—specifically, what to look for:

MBL (Minimum Breaking Load) 5–10 kN
And
WLL (Working Load Limit) 100–200 kg
? Thanks
My weight 60kg
