The paper deals with measurement of the mechanical parameters describing fall arrest by personal protective equipment in situations where the user collides with a vertical structure as a result of a swing movement. The process of swing fall arrest is characterized and the scope of tests needed to obtain a description of such events from the point of view of user safety is delineated. The paper also presents the developed test method and experimental stand incorporating a Hybrid III 50th Pedestrian ATD anthropomorphic dummy. Preliminary test results concerning acceleration, force, moment of force, and dummy deformation are discussed. The results indicate that the designed method and experimental stand are well suited for the purpose. It has also been found that swing falls pose a serious hazard to PPE users.
