Figure 6—Free falls

A. Freefall
Always ensure the lanyard retracts correctly. If the
lanyard does not retract correctly a freefall situation
could occur and must be avoided.
Always ensure that free fall situations greater than 2 feet are avoided (see Figures 6 and 7) in order to help
avoid potential product failure.
Always ensure swing falls are avoided (see Figure 8).
WARNING!
Striking objects horizontally due to the pendulum affect of a swing fall may cause serious
injury or death.
Swing falls must be prevented by ensuring that work is conducted as directly below the anchorage point
as possible. Swing falls can cause serious injury. A swing fall can result in an increased freefall distance
requiring more distance to safely arrest the fall. See Figure 8.
