System for protecting individual against falling from height, has security element made of synthetic fibers and including predetermined tensile strength, and fuse-element arranged between security element and kinetic energy absorber

摘要

The system (1) has a security element (2) made of synthetic fibers and including predetermined tensile strength. A fuse-element (4) is fixed to the security element, where predetermined tensile strength of the fuse-element is lower than the predetermined tensile strength of the security element. The fuse-element is made of a mixture of synthetic fibers and partially oriented synthetic fibers. The fuse-element is arranged between the security element and a kinetic energy absorber (3). The fuse-element and the security element are in form of a strap or a cord, respectively.
