Energy absorber coil for safety harness

An energy absorber for a safety harness, the energy absorber comprising:

• a first end, a second end, and an energy absorbing portion between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a casing at least partially enveloping the energy absorbing portion,
• wherein the energy absorbing portion has a first load-bearing web integrally bound to a second load-bearing web by a plurality of binder threads,
• wherein the first load-bearing web has a first left end and a first right end, and wherein the first left end and the first right end are joined together to define the first end of the energy absorber, and wherein the second load-bearing web has a second left end and a second right end, and wherein the second left end and the second right end are joined together to define the second end of the energy absorber,
• wherein the energy absorbing portion has a first starting tear point proximal to the first end, a second starting tear point proximal to the second end, and a reinforced area between the first starting tear point and the second starting tear point,
• wherein the energy absorbing portion is coiled in a spiral shape in an undeployed configuration, and
• wherein 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.
