represents free fall, energy absorber deployment as well as the estimated D-ring side of the
harness (Refer the manufacturer's information), (SF) represents the recommended safety
factor of 1m, (FC) represents the total allowable fall clearance. For safe use (FC) shall always
be greater than A+B + SF.
