Rope Soloing- Wild Country Revo 200 lb. Drop Test on lead climbing Dynamic System

Details on every step I perform here. I weigh the bag, then haul the bag with a three point hauling system above 14 feet above the ground. I pulled the rope with the Revo tight which was about a foot or two above the last piece of gear. I then had to weight the haul rope with a jumar so I could wrap the rope around an eye bolt on the climbing wall. I then pulled off all the gear on the haul rope which was connected to a pulley at the top so no drag on the haul rope should occur during the drop. I then gave a count down and pulled the rope off the eye bolt and the 200 lb. bag dropped and the Revo caught about 6 inches from the ground. I estimate that Revo only slipped 2-3 feet before catching successful. 14 foot starting point, 2 foot from last piece, so 4 foot fall and haul bag is about 5 to 6 foot high with the haulbag strap. So 14 feet minus about 11 foot (5-6 foot for haulbag, 4 foot fall, and less then a foot from ground) is about 2-3 feet of slippage from the Wild Country Revo.

I saw another video with the Revo in which the guy says that in top rope climbing the Revo can fail. It will fail if the weight of the rope under it is enough to release the handle. It will lock and unlock, lock and unlock and will continue if there is 20 meters of rope below the Revo.
