CAUTION!
As there is the possibility of the system having to arrest a fall, means of dissipating
energy (e.g. a device or system to EN355) should be incorporated to keep the maximum impact
force to below 6 kN. EN355 devices are tested using a 100kg standard, users who exceed this
(including equipment carried) should consult the manufacturer of the energy dissipation system to
confirm the suitability of such a product.
