In this situation, where the fall displacement is twice the size of the lanyard (2.60 m), the impact force generated in the energy absorber makes it open approximately
1.10 m so that this energy is dissipated and the human body suffers the least possible impact.
“The free-fall distance is always informed in the energy absorber, after an analysis made with the worst condition 100 kg and fall factor 2”.
Fall factor = 1 – fall corresponding to the total lanyard size
Test mass = 100 kg
Lanyard length = 1,30 m
