The antiSHOCK tool lanyard is a lanyard for heavy tools such as chainsaws. Its distinctive fea-
ture is energy dissipation: If more than 2,0 – 2,7 kN are exerted to the fuse stitching on the
product the shock dissipating webbing is activated. Loads like that may occur when the chain-
saw gets stuck in a branch that has been cut and is accelerating under the influence of gravity.
Activation of the energy dissipating webbing reduces the dynamic load, i.e. the force applied
to the harness, fall protection system and anchor point of the climber to approx. 1,5 – 1,8 kN.
The webbing is torn apart until either the energy of the falling load is dissipated or the two
webbings separate completely after approx. 70 cm and the tool or the chainsaw is released to
fall with the load.
Anyway the load exerted to the climber, his fall protection system and anchor point is limited to
approx. 1,8 kN. The product therefore helps prevent injuries that may be caused by excessive
loads applied to the antiSHOCK tool lanyard.
If the dynamic load caused by the falling mass does not exceed the energy dissipating ability of
the lanyard (e.g. the branch is released again or the mass is successfully arrested) the tool will
