So when someone is dangling the person in the middle will experience the weight of both of the other people, and the person at the other end will experience the entire bodyweight of the person dangling as upwards force on the log that they will have to hold onto. So if the two people on the ends weigh the same, does the the person at the other end get lifted off the ground by the weight of the dangling person; assuming the middle person is strong enough to hold them both up?
I guess what happens practically is that the person in the middle collapses onto the ground and the log gets torn out of the hands of the person at the other end and the dangler goes into the pit?
True, you can tell I’m not very good at math.
