The Phoenix shock-absorbing lanyard is made of a 1 3/4 in. (45 mm) lightweight continuous web. The shock absorber is covered with a tubular polyester sleeve.
When a fall occurs, the sudden stop caused by the fall arrest system submits the human body to a high impact force (the longer the free fall distance, the greater the force). The purpose of the shock absorber is to lower the impact force experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and controlling deceleration. The shock-absorbing device is made of a specially woven webbing that elongates through tearing on its weave and stitching.
