[TowerTalk] Tuf-Tug question

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.
