Peak Fall Arrest Force During Simulated 2-Point multipoint anchor limb failures

12/3/2016

 
Author: Thomas Evans
A paper describing the fall arrest forces experienced by two point anchors when a limb fails.
Four different anchors were tested, including the Sliding X (Magic X), Equalette, Quad, and two point equalized Cordelette anchor. All anchors were tested using new 8mm cord. A number of anchors were also tested using retired webbing and cord of a variety of widths and diameters.

​Paper and tables coming shortly! I had to make the post so I could use it in a citation. I'll get the paper done ASAP!
