What is fall arrester distance?

The fall arrester distance denotes the vertical expanse within which an individual can descend before the fall arrester effectively decelerates and halts the descent. 

This measurement is paramount in ensuring safety. For example, if set at 1.8 meters, a person may initially plummet that distance. A shorter distance diminishes the risk of injury; however, it must be precisely determined in accordance with equipment and safety standards.
