Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007128307A1] To protect individuals who are to work on tall structures (11), such as sea windmills, which are provided with a ladder (12) which is terminated at the top by a platform (10), a fall arrester (1) is secured to the platform, said fall arrester being formed by a housing according to the invention, which consists of a first part (2) which is secured to the tall structure (11), and which may be clamped together with a second part (4). A spring biased line (7), such as a steel wire, is arranged in the housing and is terminated by a ring (8). According to the invention, the line (7) is extended by an auxiliary line (9), which has a length which corresponds to or is longer than the height of the ladder (12). When an individual e.g. is to climb the ladder from a rocking boat, he pulls the auxiliary line (9), so that the line with the ring (8) of the fall arrester may be secured to a safety belt on the individual, who is thereby protected against fall accidents. All parts of the fall arrester are made of weather-proof materials.
