Surely in the course of designing and testing ski pylons and wakeboard towers someone has measured the force a skier or wakeboarder exerts on a tow rope. Anybody here ever seen data on this? I'm mostly just curious, but just in case I decide to build a tower in the future I'd like to have an idea of what I need to allow for (plus a generous safety margin of course). It's tempting to borrow a load cell from work but I'm not too sure I want to be responsible for replacing it if something happens.
