Non-structural absorber to be used in parallel to a PPE System. Not intended to reduce impact force on marginal anchors.

*This is a very rough estimate for stiffness calibration, assuming falls near the anchor with minimal rope drag. Rope drag will quickly dominate in absorption effects, negating the need for perfect calibration*

Compact (60cm Sling)
 -1 Absorber: scenarios with significant rope drag
-2 Absorbers: climber less than 160lb (73kg)
-3 Absorbers: climber greater than 160lb (73kg)

Plush (90cm Sling)
 -1 Absorber: scenarios with significant rope drag
-2 Absorbers: climber less than 180lb (82kg)
-3 Absorbers: climber greater than 180lb (82kg)
