SUBJECT: Evaluation of Safety Lanyard
3. CONCLUSIONS: The Kryptek Krylan20D w/ Spinnaker Shackle met proof load
requirements. The lanyard can hold a high load. Some tested well into the 4,000+ lbs.
range. The minimum break strength is recommended at 3,909.9 lbs., based on a 95%
confidence level. Hardware was functional before test load. After testing, further
examination of belt connector hardware would release, but not lock or was difficult to lock
again. This happened on the Failure Load Test (2B, 5B) and Static Test (1, 7, 14 and 15).
