The ASAP comes supplied with a Petzl OK Triact Karabiner
Mobile fall arrest device for rope
- For use on a lifeline

The use of a single ASAP to back up two people must remain exceptional and done only if these conditions are met:
Only for roped rescue work - emergency abseil pick-off of an immobile hanging victim
Only when all the risks of falling and shock loading (anchor failure, pendulum, sudden loading etc) are minimised.
Only when the operation is carried out by someone experienced in this type of rescue
Only when used in conjunction with Absorbica L57 absorbing lanyard,
without an extension - no other lanyards are acceptable for rescue
