I've used this hitch for the last 2 decades, on boats up to 2 tons, windy conditions, etc., and have never had it fail. Problem is - I never knew it had been used before, much less had a name... I thought I had invented it. lol Great video!
I had put years o' experimenting with finding the ultimate way to tie my Boot Laces... After considerable experimentation, I discovered the answer... I used this for over 5 years, thinking that I had invented it... Then, I saw it in the Ashley's Book o' Knots... There are only so many ways to tie a Knot... Chances are, you can invent one, but in all likelihood, someone has tied it before...
Isn't that the truth! lol GrandPappy used to say "a knot is nothing more than a controlled way to tangle a line." ...ask any Fly fisherman about Wind Knots. LOL
If the tails are long enough, it will not work itself loose... I've moored boats at the Wharf in Alma NB, on the Bay o' Fundy, with it... Conditions don't get any more extreme than that... 50' Tides, Highest in the world! Never had it slip or break loose... See Kevin HeyMan's comment below, for another testimonial...
I know a lot of slipped hitches but never seen this before. I will remember it.

Have you tested it against loosening under repetitive loading and unloading?
