L.2.6.6.4 Most retractable type fall arresters require their retractable lanyards to extract from their case at a certain speed before the locking mechanism starts to work. The required speed might not be achieved in anything less than a free fall, e.g. if the retractable lanyard runs over an edge during a fall or during an uncontrolled descent of the working line, i.e. where the user is not in full control of a descending device.A retractable type fall arrester should not be used in combination with a horizontal anchor L.2.6.6.5 line unless the manufacturer of the retractable type fall arrester specifically advises that it may be. Even so, it is recommended that tests are carried out to prove that they work together correctly.
