Abstract
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.
