The rings are permanently attached to the hangers. Fixe has never had a problem with this type of set-up. Have you ever tried to remove a 3/8 bolt with a crow bar? Let me tell you it's almost impossible as they have a pullout strength of several thousand pounds. Using a dynamic line to rap off of will never put enough force on these anchors have them pull out.
: Ever looked closely at the anchors atop "Romper Room" or below "Saturn" ? The way the hangers on those bolts are oriented, it looks like when the anchors are weighted, the leverage of rings against the rock wants to pry the hangers off the bolts... Know what I mean?
