When working correctly, the weight of the *slider* is enough to keep it
sliding ahead of (below) the D-ring it's attached to when descending,
but not ahead of a *falling* D-ring of course.
In practice it will occasionally hang up when descending and you just
give it a tap to get it below the D-ring and sliding freely again. No
problem at all really.

I understand how the Tuf-Tug safety cable works going up. But can someone
describe how it works coming down the tower?
