I just came upon this video showing a lab test of this knot.
The rope breaks (over 3000 kg) and the knot does not jamb.

Interesting. Does this knot have some advantage over the bowline?

This is just proposed as an alternative.
I like that the working and standing exit the knot from the same side.
