Abstract
A fall protection system is provided for protection of a worker on a building roof. The system includes a mast assembly resting on the ground and contacting a soffit of the roof. A cable support structure is secured to the mast assembly. A cable is connected at a first end to the cable support structure and includes a first portion extending upwardly from the cable support structure toward a peak of the roof and a second portion extending downwardly from the peak toward the ground and terminating at a second end. The second portion is adapted to connect to a harness secured to the worker. A weight hangs from the second end of the cable to hold the cable taut.
