A temporary cable horizontal lifeline (HLL) kit for fall protection includes a wire cable and a ratchet tensioner with adjustable length webbing that includes a first end portion with a first carabiner and a second end portion with a second carabiner. The kit further includes a first energy absorber, a first clamp and a second clamp, a first shackle and a second shackle, and a first end anchorage connector and a second end anchorage connector.

A fall protection cable system configured for installation of a roof on a steel building includes a starting support post, a final support post, and a support cable. The starting support post is configured for attachment to a first side of the steel building and has a bottom starting end configured to attach to the first side of the steel building and a top starting end extending above the roof. The final support post is configured for attachment to a second side of the steel building and has a bottom final end configured to attach to the second side of the steel building and a top final end extending above the roof on the second side. The support cable is configured to be connected at an elevated position above the roof of the steel building between the top starting end and the top final end.

A fall restraint assembly, including a harness, at least one base line including a first end and a second end, a first line including a third end slidingly connected to the at least one base line and a fourth end connected to the harness, and a second line including a fifth end slidingly connected to the at least one base line and a sixth end connected to the harness.

A fall arrest system includes a line retraction device having a safety line, an energy absorber configured for connecting to a terminal end of the safety line, and a harness configured for connecting to the energy absorber such that the energy absorber is disposed between the terminal end of the safety line and the harness. The safety line is selected to have a predetermined mean breaking force with a first standard deviation, and the energy absorber is selected to have a predetermined mean deployment force with a second standard deviation. The mean breaking force of the safety line and the mean deployment force of the energy absorber overlap over an overlapping region of the first and second standard deviation. A ratio of an overlap mean force of the overlapping region to an overlap standard deviation of the overlapping region is less than or equal to 6.

A wireline traversal device may include an outer housing having a longitudinal slot, and an inner housing rotatably disposed within the outer housing. The inner housing includes a helical slot, a forward end of which is aligned with the longitudinal slot in the outer housing when the inner housing is in a home position. A forward end cap having a longitudinal slot and an inclined engagement surface is attached to a forward end of the outer housing. The longitudinal slot on the outer housing is aligned with the longitudinal slot on the forward end cap. At least two bearing members are rotatably disposed within the outer housing, with one bearing member attached to each end of the inner housing. The wireline traversal device may be used in a variety of applications in connection with a wireline, such as a zip line or safety line.

A runner 7 has a housing 21 with two runner wheels 23 attached to the housing. The housing includes a sleeve 25 that can freely turn around the longitudinal axis 27 in a channel 29 present in the housing. The sleeve constitutes an elongated guide opening by which the runner can be moved over the guide cable. Longitudinal slots extending in axial direction are present in the walls 21A, 25A of the channel 29 and of the sleeve 25. Each slot has a middle section 31A, 33A. The width 34 of the middle section 33A of the longitudinal slot in the sleeve is smaller than the width 32 of the middle section 31A of the longitudinal slot in the housing, and, furthermore, the width 34 of the middle section 33A of the slot 33 in the sleeve is smaller than the diameter of the guide cable 3 the runner 7 is suitable for.

A system for controlling use of an exercise course by a person in a climbing park has a guiding element, which extends along a longitudinal direction and along which a person can move between a connecting section of the guiding element and a disconnecting section of the guiding element. A securing device is movably attachable along the guiding element between the connecting section and the disconnecting section. The securing device is connectable to the guiding element in the connecting section and is disconnectable from the guiding element in the disconnecting section. An identification device is configured such that, by the identification device, at least a connecting of the securing device within the identification section is identifiable, such that an occupancy of the guiding element with another person is identifiable therewith. An actuating device of the securing device is controllable with the identification device, such that the actuating device of the securing device is adjustable in a clearance position and, upon identification of the occupancy of the guiding element by another person, in a blocking mode. The actuating device of the securing device is coupled with the securing device, such that, in the blocking mode, a connecting of the securing device in the connecting section and/or a displacing of the securing device along the guiding element is blocked.

A safety line anchor device with a first component, the first component having a connection part at first end and a gripping element at a second end, a second component, the second component having a first opposed end portion, a second end portion, and a pin fixed in position and protruding from the second component, and the first component is slidably mounted to the second component and the gripping element separates the first opposed end portion and the second end portion.

The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.
