Abstract (en)
Apparatus and associated methods relate to fall arrester having a break-away fall indicator with an aperture aligned with an aperture of the fall arrester that supports a safety lanyard during a fall event. In an illustrative embodiment, the fall indicator may couple to a brake lever with a rivet, which may be a standard rivet, for example. The brake lever may be a component of a rope grab device. A lanyard may be secured through the aperture of the fall indicator and fall arrester with a carabiner, for example. When the fall arrester is subjected to a predetermined fall arresting force, the fall indicator may decouple from the brake lever, for example, by shearing. Upon being shed from its location, the fall indicator may advantageously indicate and alert persons (visually) that the fall protection safety harness has been subjected to a fall arresting force.
