Falls In Via Ferratas

Opis:
During the mountain guides’ training seminar held on 21 October 2017, we tested and demonstrated various on via ferratas using different equipment.
We used an 87-kg wooden block, and the tests were carried out at the Mojstrana Via Ferrata. The anchors were 2.5 meters apart, and the block was thrown from a height of approximately 1 meter above the upper anchor. The length of the falls was therefore approximately 4.5 meters. This is a reasonable fall length, which can be expected on modern via ferratas.
