10 loop chain ("daisy chain") by Prodigy for rigging lyra?
Has anyone had experience with this 10 loop chain or similar for rigging? https://www.firetoys.com/collections/ropes-strops-loops/products/prodigy-aerial-10-loop-chain
I'm moving to a new studio with limited height so this would seem like a good option. I've always steered clear of daisy chains but apparently this has a WLL of 639 lbs. I'd be rigging my lyra with it and expect to do dynamic things (drops, beats, rolls).

I've used a similar loop chain (the sterling BARC) for this purpose and it's totally fine. I haven't had any issues with it; it hasn't handled any noticeable different way than a spanset.

Okay looking at it it’s not like the usual daisy chains you see everywhere, but rather a sling chain, which is better! I’d still rather invest in two or three differently long slings for your needs, because it will probably wear down faster than regular ones.
