Fall arrest device
A fall arrest device comprises a body having a rope guide path for receiving a rope therein and an attachment point 7 for attaching a load thereto, wherein the action of a load being applied to the attachment point results in restraining of the rope in the rope guide path, between cams 1, 4, to arrest the movement of the device on the rope 5. A linkage member 13 is connected to the device so that it may be moved along the rope, characterised in that when the speed of said device along the rope exceeds a predetermined threshold said linkage member releases its connection with the device. Thus allowing a load to be applied to the attachment point thereby causing the rope to be restrained in the rope guide path.
