Typically, one uses more than one line when going up the mast to
prevent just this sort of thing.

Are you sure it's "typical"? I would agree that it's smart,
advisable, damn good idea, etc. It might even become universal unless
it turns out that the creationists and intelligent design wacko's are
correct. When I look at the foolishness that goes on around me, I'm
not sure "typical" is a word I would want to defend in this case
