Fall shock absorbers for shock absorption

Fall shock absorbers are essential safety equipment for via ferrata climbing. This device is designed to reduce impact on the body and anchor points in the event of a fall. They increase safety by minimizing impact injuries. Fall shock absorbers usually consist of a cord or set of elastic straps with carabiners at each end. The shock absorber's flexible core expands during a fall and absorbs the energy generated by the fall. This helps to slow down the fall and reduce the force of the impact.
