A follower fall arrest device used with a fixed safety rope is equipped with a securing system comprising a support arm articulated on a first spindle between an active locking and an inactive unlocking position, a roller in the form of a cylindrical wheel mounted rotating free on a second spindle securedly attached to the support arm, and a centrifugal clutch mechanism arranged between a drive member of the roller and the support arm so as to occupy a disengaged position or an engaged position. The peripheral surface of the roller is equipped with a plurality of studs presenting a predetermined angle of incline so as to cause rotation of the roller in the descending direction, and sliding on the rope in the ascending direction. The body comprises a straight U-shaped channel for passage of the rope, said channel having holes for passage of the attachment means.
