in your application contact DBI-SALA before proceeding. See
Figure 5.

contact with or abrade against unprotected sharp edges.
Provide protection for the lifeline when possible. An energy
absorbing component can sometimes be added in-line to
further protect the worker. Compatibility and total fall distance
must be considered if this is done. Contact DBI-SALA before
using an in-line energy absorbing component or lanyard with
an SRL.
