Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a Self-Retracting Lifeline Connecting System (SRLCS) that securely attaches to a fall-protection safety harness, and further provides connections to a plurality of safety devices. In an illustrative example, the SRLCS may include a D-pad adapted for rear attachment to a back-pad of a safety harness. In some examples the D-pad may have webbing apertures through which two sections of webbing may be threaded in a criss-crossed manner. In some embodiments, the D-pad may provide an attachment for a first harness ring. In some exemplary embodiments, the D-pad may also provide a tunnel structure for routing a second harness ring therethrough. In an illustrative example, the tunnel may be located immediately adjacent the criss-cross location of the two sections of webbing, thereby permitting a carabiner to make use of the tunnel to capture the two sections of webbing.
