Abstract

A fall arrest system is provided that can be mounted to a ladder or another climbable structure. The fall arrest system includes a cable that extends from an upper member of the fall arrest system to a lower member of the fall arrest system. To couple the cable to the upper member and the lower member, an upper cable supporting assembly and a lower cable supporting assembly are provided. The upper cable supporting assembly may be visible to the ambient environment, and the lower cable supporting assembly may be partially surrounded by a casing with an opening. Thus, the upper cable supporting assembly and the lower cable supporting assembly may be visually inspected without removing housing components. Moreover, the lower cable supporting assembly may include an attenuator for preferably maintaining a desired tension in the cable.
