ABSTRACT:
The shock absorber disclosed herein includes an elongate strip of a webbed material or fabric. Both ends of the fabric are cut a short distance along the longitudinal axis of the strip of material, and then one end of the strip is twisted a half turn, or 180.degree.. The two ends of the webbing are brought together, and the juxtaposed halves of the separate ends may then be folded back on themselves and sewn together to form a loop. One loop may now be fastened as by a safety hook to a worker's safety belt or harness, and the other end fastened as by a double locking snap hook to a rope or cable attached to a fixed structure such as a building or scaffolding. The excess length of webbing may be folded back onto itself until it fits compactly into a housing or casing. The housing or casing must be releasable so as not to interfere with the tearing action of the strip of webbing should the worker fall off the structure to which the shock absorber is attached.
