ABSTRACT:
A fall-protection safety suit is provided having a coverall with legs, arms and torso sections and a strap assembly mounted within the coverall and having a connection portion for interconnection to an anchorage. The strap assembly is configured for automatic adjustment from a first loose fitting position about a wearer to a second fall-protect position about the wearer responsive to a fall-arresting force. The strap assembly in the second position is tight fitting about the wearer and positioned to distribute fall-arresting forces to pre-selected body portions of the wearer to minimize injury. The strap assembly is configured for distributing fall-arresting forces to predetermined portions of a wearer's body. The strap assembly may connect to a shock absorber via a connector portion positioned at the outer surface of the coverall approximately mid-back between shoulder blades of a wearer. The shock absorber is adapted for interconnection to an anchorage. The coverall has a pocket on its outer surface at approximately lower mid-back of a wearer for housing the shock absorber.
