Abstract
A shock load indicator for use with a safety cable comprising a casing surrounding a section of the cable, having severable top and bottom sections connected through a shearing means. The casing normally supports the weigth of the user of the cable, and encloses a length of the cable such that, when the cable is extended as a result of the severance of the casing due to a fall induced shock load, the top and bottom sections separate by a predetermined distance indicating that the cable has been subjected to a shock load.
