E.2.3.2 A twin-tailed energy-absorbing fall arrest lanyard should not be confused with two single energy-absorbing fall arrest lanyards, where each is equipped with its own energy absorber. The use of two such single lanyards is not recommended as there is an inherent problem with this method. In the very predictable situation that both lanyards are connected to the structure at the same time and a fall occurs, the impact load on the user is likely to be much higher than the intended maximum impact load of the energy absorber. This is because the load has been shared by two energy absorbers, which have not been able to function as intended. This could result in a serious injury.E.2.3.3 There are also potential safety issues that apply to some designs of twin-tailed energy- absorbing fall arrest lanyards. In November 2004, a worker received fatal injuries as a result of falling© IRATA InternationalAnnex E: page 2 of 82013-Dec-01
