Yates Helo Personal Retention Lanyard w/Shock Stop (Back order Until end of Jan 2024)

This personal retention lanyard is exclusively for law enforcement and military use in helicopters. It features the first all - black, non - reflective, oxide - plated quick - release shackle made of stainless steel by Ronstan. The oversize quick - release shackle enables easy detachment from the harness or belt during an unplanned landing. The swedged release pin, a SOCOM requirement, prevents accidental release even if the retaining ring breaks. The retaining split ring is safety TIG welded. The quick - release shackle uses Velcro to secure the release tab, reducing the risk of unintended release. It's constructed with 4000lb. mil - spec 5625 tubular webbing, and the lanyard has a rated strength of 3400 lbf (15kN). The Kong Tango double - locking snap hook meets NFPA 1983/2006 edition standards with a strength of 7425 lbf (33kN). It's proudly made in the USA. A Yates SCREAMER shock absorber is added for energy absorption. When a 2.5 kN (600 lbs) activation force is applied during a fall, the fully - activated SCREAMER (11 inches) can absorb 2 - 3 kN of energy. Available in terra and black, it has a retracted length of 26 inches and a fully extended length of 42 inches.

How to use: First, attach the lanyard to your harness or belt using the oversize quick - release shackle. Make sure the Velcro on the quick - release shackle secures the release tab properly. Connect the Kong Tango double - locking snap hook to the appropriate point in the helicopter. During a fall, the Yates SCREAMER shock absorber will activate to absorb energy. Things to note: This lanyard is only for law enforcement and military personnel. Check the swedged release pin and retaining split ring regularly for any signs of damage. Avoid subjecting the lanyard to forces beyond its rated strength. Maintenance advice: Keep the lanyard clean and dry. Inspect the tubular webbing for wear and tear. If the Velcro loses its stickiness, consider replacing it. Store the lanyard in a cool, dry place when not in use.
