Information for Via ferrata sets
Via ferrata sets have a shock absorber to prevent falls and minimize the risk of injury. Controlled braking (of the person falling) significantly reduces the fall factor and the resulting impact force on the body and anchor point. The current safety standard (EN 958) on via ferrata sets requires that they can withstand a 5m fall with a weight of 80kg and a maximum impact force of 6kN. The maximum braking distance may not exceed 1.2m. Research using test dummies has shown that shock absorbers designed in accordance with EN 958 have braking distances of only a few centimetres when used by lighter persons weighing 30 kg. This means that these via ferrata sets provide virtually no dynamic shock absorption, and cause substantial impact forces, which could be particularly dangerous for children or lighter users.
