Thanks for the reply,Mr Mas.And your pictures are a value for all the rookies like me.Well,all due respect,but I have to say,you didn't reply to me directly.I meant to say,there has to be something with a built-in ratchet inside that reacts and holds the line when recuer falls down suddenly.For example,Petzl ASAP and Beal Monitor,both designed for fall protection.The firemen in the picture you posted was attached to a CAMP energy absorbing webbing,and there should be something at the end of the webbing that clutches the rope when rescuer falls down to stop the falling.Right?

You're correct bro Jimmy, it's attached to the harness most typically used by plant workers working at heights. it is also included in our fire kit issue so that when do inspections in some some areas inside the plant that requires to use harnesses, we, (ERT team) uses this instead of the usual rescue harnesses. were also using this in cleaning, washing our fire appliances when we are on top as a safety percautions. (and is because it's more than 6 FT :) ) the picture you see is that when we were doing this exercise, we came from the top, walked in that flat form, and waiting for our turn to do the rappelling... guardrails in the flat form, that is our best form of fall restraint... keep safe brother :)

If I am not incorrect,the red webbing on their backs are CAMP energy absorbing system.And I am confused how does it work without a fall monitor at the end of the system?If you use it singly,the space you can move is very confined.
