A locking system for fall protection and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. An example locking system includes a housing. The housing defines a guide path through which the housing is slideably attached to a guide member. The locking system also includes a braking lever having a braking end that is configured to engage the guide member. The braking lever includes a shock absorber configured to deform during a fall instance. The locking system further includes a secondary braking feature configured independent from the braking lever. The secondary braking feature is an inertial structure configured to rotate into engagement with the guide member during the fall instance. A corresponding method of manufacturing is also provided.

An automatically braking belay device for use in belaying climber or descending with a rope, using the pull of the rope to activate braking by the roll of the cam within the frame of the device. An adaptive release lever unjam the rope to release with closing mechanism utilizing magnets for practically permanent and fail safe closure.

A high load descender for rope access and rescue has a ratcheting sheave mounted to a pivoting arm, which translate with rope tension against a fixed shoe. The ratcheting sheave has a groove that grips rope during descent while allowing free rotation for ascent and progress capture. An adaptive release linkage enhances ease of operation and control while maintaining convenient handle position in a variety of conditions.

A fall-protection apparatus with a friction-braking system comprising a handle that is disconnectably connected to a braking cam so that when the handle is moved from a braking position to a non-braking position the braking cam is pivotally moved from a braking configuration to a non-braking configuration, and so that when the handle is moved to a disconnecting position the connection between the handle and the braking cam is disconnected.
