Skylotec BFD SK12 Shock Absorbing Lanyards
Skylotec BFD SK12 Shock Absorbing Lanyard
The Skylotec BFD SK12 is a single leg kernmantle rope lanyard built to stop a fall while reducing the stress loads on the body. The Tear Tape shock pack uses a controlled ripping action that begins as the lanyard is loaded during a fall and keeps the fall arrest forces under 6kN. A unique Velcro cover allows 100% inspection of the pack and protects the label sewn into the tear tape.
It uses 12mm rope, is rated for one person to 100kg, and is offered with triple action karabiners or steel double action snap hooks. Compare the BFD SK12 adjustable single leg, the BFD SK12 twin leg and the BFD Flex, or browse all single tail lanyards.
