2.2 FREE FALL: Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must be rigged to limit the free fall to 6
feet (1.8 M) per ANSI Z359.1 (see Section 7.1). Restraint systems must be rigged so that no vertical free

user to allow the system to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. Clearance
required is dependent on the following factors:
Elevation of Anchorage • Connecting Subsystem Lenght •
Deceleration Distance • Free Fall Distance •
Worker Height • Movement of Harness Attachement Element •
