Body Supports
The Dyna-Glide Climbing Protection System is designed to be used with a Full Body Harness which
attaches to the fall arrester at chest level.
This full body harness has the benefit of serving a wide range of climber needs in addition to attachment to
the fall arrester. A variety of full body harnesses may be suitable for use in the Dyna-Glide system provided
they have a compatible means of frontal connection to the fall arrester which is located between the waist
and sternum of the climber.
The MSA Dyna-Glide is designed to be used with other MSA-approved products. Use of the Dyna-Glide
with products that are not approved in writing by MSA may adversely affect the functional capability between
system components and reliability of the complete system.
1.7
Accessories
Beyond the basic components described above, several optional accessories are available. These acces-
sories can enhance the climber's mobility, extend the range of continuous protection, and provide added
convenience and comfort.
1.7.1 Folding Footrest
This is a pedestal, just large enough for both feet, which attaches to a rail section with a hinged bracket that
enables the footrest to be pivoted up, out of the way of the climber, or down to stand on. See Figure 14. The
travel of the fall arrester is not interfered with. The footrest is normally installed at fixed points where there
may be a need to rest or perform work or inspections. It can be mounted at any point on a rail section except
the very ends where a rail connector assembly is installed. It is made from either hot galvanized steel or
stainless steel and is attached to the rail using two each bolts, lock washers and nuts.
