"Y" type Shock Absorbing Lanyards offer the same protection and mobility as the single leg type, but their design offers additional security. "Y" type lanyards are designed to permit the user to be 100 % tied off at all times during traverse. The user attaches one lanyard to the anchorage point, traverses until an obstacle is encountered, attaches the second leg beyond the obstruction, disconnects the first leg, and continues. When not in use, one leg can be secured to an AK004A lanyard Keeper to eliminate a potential trip hazard. Elastic leg lanyards also greatly reduce trip hazards associated with vertical climbing; an area where "Y" lanyards are commonly used- 1" Web Leg "Y"
- 1-3/4" Web Leg "Y"
- 1/2" Rope Leg "Y"
- 1/4" Cable leg "Y"
