Skylotec BFD FLEX Shock Absorbing Lanyards
Skylotec BFD Flex Shock Absorbing Lanyard
The Skylotec BFD Flex is a single leg elasticated shock absorbing lanyard designed to stop a fall efficiently while keeping shock loads on the body low. The elasticated webbing shortens the lanyard by 73 cm in the 2 m version so it stays out of the way at height, then extends when needed.
The Tear Tape shock pack uses a controlled ripping action that starts as the lanyard is loaded during a fall and keeps arrest forces under 6 kN. A Velcro cover lets you fully inspect, clean and dry the pack, and protects the sewn in label pack. Compare the premium Skysafe Pro Flex with its exposed rescue loop, or browse all single tail lanyards and the wider lanyards and tethers range.
