An energy absorbing device (10) comprises a central body portion (11) and at least three legs (33, 34) extending outwardly from said body portion (11). Each of the legs (33, 34) has a first and a second end, the first ends of the legs being linked together and to the body portion 11 to define support means adapted to support a length of an elongate safety line. The second end of each of the legs (33, 34) is attached to a foot member (41). Each foot member (41) is capable of undergoing permanent plastic deformation in response to sudden shock loading transmitted through the elongate safety line. The permanent plastic deformation is effective to absorb at least a part of the energy of the sudden shock loading.

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) d'absorption d'énergie comprenant une partie (11) corps central et au moins trois pieds (33, 34) s'étendant vers l'extérieur depuis cette partie (11) corps central. Chacun des pieds (33, 34) comporte une première et une seconde extrémité, les premières extrémités des pieds étant liées les unes aux autres ainsi qu'à la partie (11) corps de manière à définir des dispositifs de support adaptés pour supporter une longueur d'un câble de sécurité allongé. La seconde extrémité de chacun des pieds (33, 34) est reliée à un élément pied (41). Chaque élément pied (41) peut subir une déformation plastique permanente en réaction au chargement par à-coups brusques transmis par le câble de sécurité allongé. La déformation plastique permanente est efficace pour absorber au moins une partie de l'énergie du chargement par à-coups brusques.
