Swing Fall with 0' Setback: A swing fall condition with 0' setback in Figure 9. For each foot of work zone expansion, the risk of severe
injury or death from a swing fall increases. This increased risk requires additional MRFC distance, up to a maximum of 4' of added
clearance. See Chart 3 for instructions on how to determine a safe lateral travel distance. A swing fall, combined with the user at the
maximum allowable lateral travel, will cause the lifeline to abrade along and across the edge. This may cause severe lifeline or energy
absorber damage over a rough, sharp, or abrasive edge. Limit lateral travel to avoid swing falls.
