[ QUOTE ]
Imagine you are suspended hanging on to a rope...

That rope is on a pulley. On the other end and the other side of the pulley is a mass perfectly matching your own weight.

The pulley is a frictionless system.

You start to climb. What happens?

The rope breaks, and you fall into the decorative fountain ass-first. Stan and Ollie help you out, but get pulled in by mistake.
