This is for long-drop hanging from a building or other large height, so it isn't very easy to use your own body for testing before the attempt. Using something like a sandbag of the same weight would also draw a lot of attention, and since you're also testing the rope this way, you would presumably need to untie the sandbag and reuse the rope for yourself. I'm not sure how you could do that safely without intervention. So that's why I'm wondering about any alternative methods, like maybe a tool to tighten the rope and measure the tension?
By the way, if using a building I'm thinking of using the metal supports you might find for water tanks, solar panels, etc. In case that is relevant for any advice. A second concern would be whether the rope snaps on the corner of the building's roof, which is roughly 90 degrees.
