The attachment point between the energy absorber and lanyard tails sometimes consists E.2.3.3.1 of webbing that is stitched back onto itself to form a connecting loop. When a fall arrest load is applied to the lanyard assembly, such that the load is in line with the energy absorber body, this connecting loop should transfer the load without failing. This type of loading is illustrated in Figure E.3. However, in some fall arrest situations, a side load can be applied to the loop, see Figure E.4. In a poorly designed product, this load will tend to rip apart the stitching on the loop.A side load can be applied to the connecting loop if the user falls from a structure whenE.2.3.3.2 the twin-tailed energy-absorbing fall arrest lanyard is used in either of the following two ways:
