DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEMS
Each smart and continuous belay system has its own unique features and can mitigate
risk in different ways. The systems can be used with the QuickFlight and QUICKjump
so long as they meet the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction and the sys-
tem is designed and installed by a qualified person.
Smart Belays
Smart belays generally consist of lanyards with communicating connectors that help
to reduce the likelihood of accidental detachments from a safety system. Examples
of smart belays include,
Edelrid Smart
Continuous Belays
Continuous belays consist of lanyards with connectors that remain attached to the life
safety system throughout the entirety of the course. Examples of continuous belays
include
Kanopeo SAFEROLLER
Trek Innovations
Smart and Continuous Belays as the Primary vs Secondary Connector
When implementing a smart or continuous belay system in conjunction with the
QuickFlight or QUICKjump the smart or continuous belay should act as the secondary
connector when attached to the device webbing.
Secondary Connector
Using a smart or continuous belay as the secondary
connector means the smart or continuous belay will be
connected to the QuickFlight or QUICKjump webbing but
will not be under tension during use. Instead, a suitable
carabiner or connector that meets the requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction, will be the primary
connector and hold the weight of the participant during
use. When installed as a secondary connector, the smart
or continuous belay system should only be loaded in the
event of a failure or improper connection to the primary
connector or carabiner.
