<p>I am practicing falls with a self belay device indoors and I am tying the rope to the anchors so to fall on a single strand of rope as I would in real life.</p>

<p>I used the figure eight on a bight but I searched for something easier to release after several falls. So I tried the bowline on a bight. 
Turned out, that knot is also a pain to release.</p>

<p>Is there anything faster to release, while still safe enough to take multiple falls on it?</p>
