The key to aviation safety has finally been revealed! Who would have thought that the reef knot, which has been familiar since early childhood to anyone with the simplest knowledge of knots, could make such a difference.

Glad to know that being in the cub scouts made me a safer pilot.

Check Ashley's book of knots. Rolling hitch has another half hitch below step 3, and step 3 doesn't cross step 2 loop. I use rolling hitch all the time for tie downs, EXCEPT on polypropylene line. It will not hold on that.
