Industry in Review: Rigid vs Flexible

As more and more companies enter the fall protection field, there seems to be more talk about project quote prices. This is followed by detailed discussions about the differences between rigid vs flexible fall protection systems and which one meets the project's requirements. We are having this topic more and more as a company that sells both sorts of fall safety devices.

We can claim that rigid and flexible fall protection systems have the same goal, at least in theory. Both kinds of devices are made to keep personnel who are working at heights from falling. But saying that they give the same effect even when their prices are different is a whole other story.

There are some big distinctions between the two systems that affect how well they work overall, which is why understanding rigid vs flexible fall protection is so important.
