This shock absorber, with an industrial clip on one end and loop on the other, is meant to be used as a fall arrest system. The purpose of the shock absorber is to lower the impact force experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and controlling deceleration. The shock-absorbing device is made of a specially woven webbing that ellongates 2 feet through tearing on its weave and stitching. This is normally used as a part of AE made lobster claws.
