The MGO connectors on Absorbica fall arrest lanyards can be stowed on each shoulder strap. The user is thus unhindered by the lanyard, and the connectors stay within reach. In case of a fall, a system releases the MGO connectors to allow the absorber to be deployed. -Folding side attachment points.
