Energy Absorption/Fall Indicator:
The Safewaze Ladder Climb System Top Bracket
Assembly is designed to absorb fall arrest forces should a fall on the system occur. The
Top Bracket Assembly has laser cut slots on each side of the assembly, at the cable
connection point (See Figure 13A). In the event of a fall, the slots allow the metal to
deform inward and downward to absorb fall arrest forces (See Figure 13B). This
deformation of the metal indicates that the system has been exposed to fall arrest
forces. It this deformation is present during inspection, DO NOT use the system.
