Shock absorbing sling designed to limit peak loads in any climbing situation. Screamers will provide added protection in climbing and rescue situations. Screamers not only absorb energy directly because of the stitch ripping effect, they also allow your rope to absorb more energy from the fall by increasing the time interval of the fall. The standard Screamer can effectively reduce peak loads by 3-4kN in any climbing or rescue system.

See this page on Yates' website for detailed examples of how screamers can reduce the load to runners and anchors.

Activation >2kN. Reduction in system peak loading 4-8kN. Runner strength 26kN
