5.2 SWING FALLS
An anchorage point located in a position that is not directly over the user's fall location results in a swing fall
(See Figure 2). Swing falls may result in the user striking an object with enough force to cause serious injury. Greater
clearance is needed to ensure safety during a swing fall as vertical fall distance will be greater than a fall originating
directly below the anchorage point.
