Deceleration Distance =
4 ft (1.2 m)
except:
• for ANSI/OSHA Lanyards with Free Fall
greater than 6 ft (1.8 m) up to 12 ft (3.7
m), or user weights greater than 310 lbs
(141 kg) up to 420 lbs (191 kg); add 1 ft
(0.3 m):
DD = 5 ft (1.5 m)
• for CSA E6 Lanyards, add 1.7 ft. (0.5 m):
DD = 5.7 ft (1.7 m)

(Factors in D-Ring Slide and Harness Stretch.)
Example:
Assuming a 6 ft (1.8 m) tall user with a
typical 6 ft (1.8 m) lanyard with 6 ft (1.8 m) Free Fall,
Fall Clearance calculation would be as follows:
RD = LL + DD + HH + C
RD = 6 ft + 4 ft + 6 ft + 1.5 ft = 17.5 ft
RD = 1.8 m + 1.2 m + 1.8 m + 0.5 m = 5.3 m
