CLIMBING SYSTEMS, SLIPS & FALLS, The essence of climbing system design as well as slip-fall considerations includes at least two main concepts: three point contact while maneuvering or changing elevations; and slip resistance as measured by traditional coefficient of friction (COF). The measurement of COF is the usual starting point. The following figure from a draft of a book by Dr. Miller illustrates both the concept and methodology of COF. |
