    摘要: An energy absorber for a safety harness has a first end, a second end, and an energy absorbing portion between the first end and the second end. The energy absorbing portion has a first load-bearing web integrally bound to a second load-bearing web. The energy absorbing portion is coiled in a spiral shape in an undeployed configuration. The energy absorbing portion is deployable from the undeployed configuration to a deployed configuration when the first end is pulled away from the second end due to a force exceeding a minimum predetermined force threshold such that at least a portion of the first load-bearing web tears away from at least a portion of the second load-bearing web. The first load-bearing web and the second load-bearing web are integrally bound in the energy absorbing portion by a plurality of binder threads.
