PRUSIK

Foot loop for hanging strain relief to protect

against suspension trauma

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

INTENDED USE

To relieve the suspension strain on a casualty

hanging in the safety rope. After suitable

training, it is also possible to climb short distan-

ces up the safety line using a second PRUSIK

SLING. In an intervention procedure, the PRUSIK

SLING can be used by trained users as a back-up

securing device.

CAUTION:

The PRUSIK SLING must be prepared and set for

the users personal height so that it can be used

in the event of an emergency. It is part of the

personal equipment.

We recommend practising the overhand/triple

sliding hitch/two-loop figure of eight knot

knots on a regular basis. The PRUSIK SLING

should always be carried close to the body in an

easily accessible place.

All other uses are deemed improper. The

company BORNACK will not be liable for any

ensuing damages. The user bears the sole risk.

NOTE ABOUT SUSPENSION TRAUMA

Hanging freely in the full body harness after

a fall may lead to constriction of the blood

circulation (suspension trauma). For more

details, please visit the website www.bornack.de

PRUSIK SLING IN USE

PREPARATION

• Shorten the PRUSIK SLING with an overhand/

triple sliding hitch/two-loop figure of eight

knot so that it reaches from the tip of your

nose to the ground.

• A sling is required to relieve the hanging

strain. Two loops are required, if it is to be

used for climbing up the safety line.

APPLICATION HANGING RELIEF

CAUTION:

An optimal eect is only achieved, if the strain

relief (foot loop) is attached to the safety line

(not to the full body harness).

A After falling and hanging in the rope, unpack the

sling and attach to the highest possible point on

the safety rope with a double overhand/triple

sliding hitch/two-loop ﬁgure of eight knot .

• If a BFD rope is used, as high as possible

overhead on the energy absorber.

• Place the feet directly into the sling or foot

loop (better stance).

B The PRUSIK SLING always needs to be fed

behind the chest and abdominal strap to

prevent the body tipping over.

APPLICATION ASCENT AID

C In an alternating fashion, relieve the strain on

one of the PRUSIK SLINGS by shifting your

weight, and release the strain-relieved over-

hand/triple sliding hitch/two-loop ﬁgure of

eight knot with your thumb and push up the

safety line. The overhand/triple sliding hitch/

two-loop ﬁgure of eight knot bearing your

weight automatically clamps onto the safety

line.
