Quench thyself with water, for thine lips are cracked and parched. Do not lick thine lips, ye ass who possesseth dry and cracked lips, with thine tongue belonging to such a dry and cracked lip-having egg!

There’s two different types of fall safety, fall prevention and fall arrest. Fall prevention stops you before you fall; fall arrests stop your fall after it happens. The reason why you have a certain amount of slack is because the slack helps absorb the energy; a solid lanyard that doesn’t deploy would distribute the energy throughout your body instead of through the lanyard, which is more damaging.

The type of damage you’re thinking of would be for a fall against a flat surface, you’d want to hit the ground sooner rather than later. But energy transfer through a lanyard benefits more from having room to deploy, and can help prevent your body from going into shock.

Edit: whoops, said fall arrest twice
