Compatibility: attachment
points / connectors
An incompatible connection can cause
accidental disconnection, breakage,
or affect the safety function of another
piece of equipment.
WARNING, the attachment points of
your harness can act as a lever on the
gate of a connector.
When a sudden tension comes onto the
rope and/or an external pressure on the
locking system, and the connector is
poorly positioned, the locking sleeve can
break and the gate can open itself.
To reduce this risk, check that your
connectors are properly positioned each
time the system is loaded (lanyard,
descender, etc.).
Also make sure your connectors are
compatible with the attachment points
(shape, size, etc.) by avoiding the use
of connectors showing a tendency to
position themselves incorrectly (and
stably) in the attachment points.
