Kong Frog - Works at Height Safety Guidelines; Product Maintenance and Storage Procedures

height of a potential fall, rope paid out and the “pendulum”
effect in order to avoid all possible obstacles (e.g. ground,
material rubbing against the rock face, etc..).
F) Resistance of anchors point, either natural or xed into
the rock, is not always granted and therefore it is essential
