“Calculating Fall Clearance Distance
Using a Shock-Absorbing Lanyard and D-
Ring Anchorage Connector
First, add the length of the shock-
absorbing lanyard (6 ft.) to the maximum
elongation of the shock absorber during
deceleration (3-1/2 ft.) to the average
height of a worker (6 ft.).
Then, add a safety factor of 3 ft. to allow
for the possibility of an improperly fit
harness, a taller than average worker
and/or a miscalculation of distance.
The total, 18-1/2 ft. is the suggested safe
fall clearance distance for this example.”

In a real world situation,
the Dennington system
allows a lower tie off point
and basically combines
both free fall and
deceleration distance for a
total 6 ft fall distance,
period. This is the original
minimum fall protection
standard which did not
allow the extra 3 ½’
elongation because it
would clearly let you
contact the lower level.
