An energy absorber () for use in a fall arrest system includes an elongate member () having a proximal end (), a distal end (), and a line of weakness () extending in a longitudinal direction (A) along at least a portion of the elongate member between the proximal end () and the distal end (). The line of weakness () is at least partially non-linear. In response to application of a predetermined force, the elongate member () is configured to tear along the line of weakness (), thereby at least partially absorbing energy of a user's fall.

Energy absorber

An anchor assembly, or mounting for an anchor assembly, particularly for a fall protection apparatus, has first and second mounting limbs connected to be rotatably mounted with respect to one another in order to rotate such that the limbs can be fixed in position at one of a variety of operational positions. The limbs have concentric engagement portions arranged to engage one another in order to permit rotation of the limbs about the rotation axis and inhibiting relative displacement of the limbs in a direction transverse to the rotational axis.

Anchor assembly

A case or support cradle () for a fall arrest device has a shape or configuration enabling rolling of the case or cradle () along an arcuate path. The rollable case or cradle () allows the fall arrest device received therein to smoothly follow a user's movements around a work site, thereby protecting the device from damage due to dragging or scraping along a floor surface.
