Tracpac lightweight shock-absorbing lanyard

The Tracpac lightweight shock-absorbing lanyard is composed of a shock absorber to which a 11 D16-in. (27 mm) lightweight web lanyard is attached.
The shock absorber is covered with a tubular polyester sleeve.
When a fall occurs, the sudden stop caused by the fall arrest system submits the human body to a high impact force (the longer the free fall distance,
the higher the force).
The purpose of the shock absorber is to lower the impact force experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and controlling deceleration. The shockabsorbing device is made of a specially woven webbing that elongates through tearing on its weave and stitching. This action limits the impact force to less than 900 lbs. (4 kN).
The dual arm model allows the worker to remain safely connected at all time
(100% tie-off) while climbing or on the move.
