Lifeline deflection shall not exceed the following: a) When a deflecting force of 9 lbs
(40N) is applied to a lifeline midway between supports of an upper or single lifeline, the
lifeline shall not deflect more than 2” (50mm). This measurement shall be taken at the
widest span between supports that are aft of the mast. b) When a deflecting force of 9 lbs
(40N) is applied midway between supports of an intermediate lifeline of all spans that are
aft of the mast, deflection shall not exceed 5” (120mm) from a straight line between the
stanchions
