Wishbone Safety Lanyard
The Wishbone Safety Breakaway Y Lanyard is designed to allow a worker to connect to two seperate anchor point a the same time from a movable platform. "Wishbone TM" will save lives during transfer operations where previously protection was not available. "Wishbone TM " will allow the movable platform to break away in case of emergency while preventing the worker from falling; secured to non movable anchor point on structure.

WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT WORKS...
Applications:
Scissor Lifts and Bucket Trucks
Military Applications
Aierial Lifts - Helicopters
Scaffolds - Window Washers
Bosun Seats
Tree Trimmers
Crane And Static Loads
Fire Ladder Trucks
Painters and Plasterers
Examples:
Example 1
A user is standing in a movable bucket and lifted by the boom to an elevated position next to a pole top. He is connected to the bucket using a Wishbone TM device releasable tether and is provided protection from falling out of the bucket. When the person is positioned next to a pole he would connect the second "D" ring non-releasable tether connector to an anchor (i.e. choker) on the Pole, which is totally independent from the bucket. If the boom or bucket should fail or collapse while the user is positioned next to the pole, the "Wishbone" system would separate the user from the bucket as it fell away and the person would remain supported by the pole.
Example 2
As in example one a user is standing on an aerial lift platform and raised by boom to an elevated position next to a structure. He is secured by a Wishbone TM releasable tether to the lift and when he is next to the structure he attaches the second "D" ring non-releasable tether connector to a structure anchor point, he can then un-connect the releasable tether from the lift and transfer to the structure while being fully tethered and supported. Should the lift platform fail or collapse or move before the user un-connects from the aerial lift the Wishbone TM system would separate from the aerial lift leaving the user supported by the structure.
Example 3
User operating an Aerial lift or bucket truck, attach releasable tether connection with short positioning lanyard to bucket or platform lift, connect non-releasable tether lanyard with shock arrester to Boom attach point. This connection helps to prevent flip outs and tip outs. In the event the bucket or lift fails the Wishbone TM will release the connection to the bucket or lift leaving the user secured to the boom attachment.
MODEL DESCRIPTION:
The "Wishbone TM " safety device Model P.E.R.T.S. TM (Personal Emergency Release System), is a "Y" lanyard type device with two legs for the connections of positioning lanyards of which one leg is automatically releasable when there is a predetermined load spreading the two lanyard connecting anchor points apart. The third end is a swivel double locking snap for connection to a personnel body harness.
ANSI STANDARDS:
(American National Standards Institute)
All webbing and components used in these devices meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.1.1992 Standards.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:
- Capacity: 310lbs. maximum personnel load including equipment.
- Length: overall 14 inches.
- Weight: 1 pound 9 ounces.
- Ultimate breaking strength: 5000 pounds or greater
INTENDED USE:
The Wishbone TM device intended use is the ability to secure personnel loads by connecting to two anchor points at the same time, one anchor point being a non-movable anchor point Permanent Structure and the other anchor point being a movable anchor point Aerial Lift . The primary purpose of this configuration is, if for any reason the movable anchor point fails or moves away while the worker is Transferring to or from the Aerial lift or while working at that location, the Wishbone TM will release from the movable anchor point while maintaining connection to the non-movable anchor point and supporting the Authorized Person/End User.
