Once locking device is closed again under the action of the spring, the user is connected to the
glider with a karabiner delivered with the glider. An energy absorber lanyard connects the glider to
the harness.
To disconnect from the line, the user must first detach the karabiner of the glider and then open the
locking device. In the event that the user moves on both sides of the lifeline, for example in the case
of a line installed along a pitch roof, he will have to undo the glider and re-orientate it before
reconnecting to the cable whenever he needs to move from one side of the cable to the other.

Circulating along the lifeline
The user pulls on the glider via the lanyard to allow the glider to pass the intermediate anchors
without jolting.
