Reply to "Common language for ACEs / Trauma / Resilience?"

In the fire service we used to test ladders every year for their resilience. It looks like the image below. The weight (a specified amount) is slowly lowered onto the ladder and then stays there for several minutes, and then it is raised up and the ladder, if it has resilience, returns to straight. Looking down the beam of one side tells you how much deflection it has, and its serviceable life.

Interestingly, I have been to seminars and workshops where this definition is routinely misconstrued as strength, or endurance.
