Abstract
A method for creating a horizontal lifeline between a pair of end anchorages. The method includes providing a section of line having a modulus of elasticity, providing an energy absorbing shock absorber having a deployment load, connecting the section of line and the shock absorber to one another, between the end anchorages, and tuning the section of line by tensioning the section of line to a load that is approximately equal to the deployment load.
