The figure-eight knot or figure-of-eight knot is a type of stopper knot. It is very important in both sailing and rock climbing as a method of stopping ropes from running out of retaining devices. Like the overhand knot , which will jam under strain, often requiring the rope to be cut, the figure-eight will also jam, but is usually more easily ...
The offset figure-eight bend is a poor knot that has been implicated in the deaths of several rock climbers. [1] [3] [4] The knot may capsize (invert) under load, as shown in the figure, and this can happen repeatedly. [5] Each inversion reduces the lengths of the tails. Once the tails are used up completely, the knot comes undone.

A figure-of-eight loop tied using the follow-through method. A figure-eight loop is created by doubling the rope into a bight, then tying the standard figure-eight knot..
