Abstract
A lanyard (12) connected to a body harness (10) for supporting a person from fixed horizontal support member (38) upon an inadvertent fall of the person from a normal supporting surface. A hook (16) on the upper end of the lanyard (12) is looped over the fixed horizontal support member (38) and received within a V-shaped eye opening (54) of an eye member (50). The V-shaped eye opening (54) is defined by a pair of straight converging sides (58,60) which intersect at an arcuate apex (62) having a relatively small width to receive the hook (16) in a snug fit.
