Description


POWERFAN means a fast fall and a soft landing. This is made possible by a mechanism with a fan that constantly and safely controls the fall. The participant wears a harness and is hooked by a carabiner to a rope wound around a conical spool. Thus prepared, the daredevil steps out into nothing and falls, the rope unwinds from the spool, simultaneously starting the fan. The fan absorbs the energy from the falling person and at the same time ensures a smooth landing on the ground. POWERFAN is not run by a motor and does not need a power source. The falling person provides everything. POWERFAN is capable of thousands of falls without major maintenance. It also contains a counter that keeps track of the number of falls and determines when it needs maintenance or supply replacement. Currently, the equipment is available for falls up to 13, 20 and 30 meters. POWERFAN is a safe and certified product.
