ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing high impact cable device having a ring damper with first and second ends for attachment to at least one mesh net panel. The damper further includes a retainer for retaining the first and second ends, and to maintain a circular damper according to a predetermined stiffness for impact restraint. The ring damper further includes a cover, which is hermetically sealed around the cable to prevent degradation. A cable-to-loop fastener mechanically secures the cable device to at least one mesh net panel to form a linked arrangement. This particular arrangement translates absorbed energy within a plane of the panels to prevent structural deformation within the device due to rolling rock energies beyond a predetermined magnitude.
