Abstract

See full text

A fall arrest system for a worker connected to a horizontal lifeline supported by at least one intermediate support having a pair of rotatable star wheels for supporting the lifeline. A glider connector connects a worker to the lifeline so that the glider connector slides along the lifeline as the worker walks parallel thereto. The glider connector which is supported by rails as it passes near the intermediate support rotates the star wheels as it passes through spaces between their projections to allow the glider connector to pass through the intermediate support without having to disconnect it from the lifeline.
