4. Secondary safety
WARNING!
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of
the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the
total system weight including all dynamic forces in case of a
failure of the primary suspension.
The additional safety device must be mounted in a way that
the array is caught by the safety device without significant
drop and swing in the event that the primary suspension
fails. For this reason the safety wire should suspend the
array right above its centre of gravity.
