In this situation, where the fall displacement is the size of the Lanyard (1.30 m), the impact force generated in the energy absorber makes it open approximately 50% of the first situation so that this energy is dissipated and the human body suffers the least impact possible.
Even if the absorber opens less than in the first analysis, the safest thing to do is to keep the same free-fall zone 4.90 m, because we still have the lanyard length, the person’s size and the safety distance. Fall factor = 1 – fall corresponding to the total lanyard size Test mass = 100kg Lanyard length = 1,30m
