A shuttle () for a climbing protection system () is provided and includes a clamping member () mounted on a frame () for movement between a an opening position, a free position wherein the shuttle () can move freely along an elongate support member (), and a clamping position wherein the clamping member () resists movement of the shuttle () relative to the elongate support member (), and an anti-inversion member () mounted on the frame () for movement between a first closed position blocking insertion of the elongate support member () and an open position where the anti-inversion member () does not block insertion of the elongate support member (). The anti-inversion member movable from the open position to the closed position when the shuttle () is moved from a desired orientation to a non-desired orientation relative to gravity with the clamping member () in the opening position and wherein the clamping member () and the anti-inversion member () are engaged to maintain the clamping member () in the opening position when the shuttle () is in the non-desired orientation.

A locking system for fall protection and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. An example locking system includes a housing. The housing defines a guide path through which the housing is slideably attached to a guide member. The locking system also includes a braking lever having a braking end that is configured to engage the guide member. The braking lever includes a shock absorber configured to deform during a fall instance. The locking system further includes a secondary braking feature configured independent from the braking lever. The secondary braking feature is an inertial structure configured to rotate into engagement with the guide member during the fall instance. A corresponding method of manufacturing is also provided.

Fall protection locking system

A locking system is provided for fall protection. The locking system includes a housing. The housing defines a guide path through which the housing is slideably attached to a guide member. The locking system also includes a braking lever having a braking end. The braking lever is configured to rotate so as to allow the braking end to engage the guide member. The guide path defines at least one bending slot configured to allow the housing to deform in response to a predetermined amount of force being applied by the guide member upon the housing. A housing for a locking system is also provided.
