question 12 of 27
match the following lanyard types with their corresponding descriptions.
choose an option below
limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body
select the best option
slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body
select the best option
stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall
select the best option

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the characteristics of different lanyard types:

1. For "Limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body":

This describes a self - retracting lanyard (or similar types that minimize slack and fall distance).

1. For "Slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body":

This is characteristic of a shock - absorbing lanyard (it dissipates energy to slow the fall gradually).

1. For "Stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall":

This matches a fixed - length lanyard (it stops the fall abruptly, increasing impact risk).

Matching:

• "Limit slack in the lanyard and the fall distance, which reduces the impact on the body" → Self - Retracting Lanyard (or equivalent option in the dropdown).
• "Slow and eventually stop the descent, which reduces the impact on the body" → Shock - Absorbing Lanyard (or equivalent option in the dropdown).
• "Stop the descent suddenly, and could injure the body in a fall" → Fixed - Length Lanyard (or equivalent option in the dropdown).

(Note: Since the dropdown options aren't fully visible, select the option that aligns with the above descriptions. For example, if options include "Self - Retracting Lanyard", "Shock - Absorbing Lanyard", "Fixed - Length Lanyard", match them to the respective descriptions.)
