sorry, my english is bad. instead of "hide" i wanted to type "hit". both words sounds nearly identical in german.
last year i jumped with one of my feet into the jib during a capsize, right in the luff/leach Corner. Result was that the jib traveller was bent and some of the seams of the jib were crushed. My helmsman had replaced the original Polyester rope against a dyneema one.
