Abstract :Movement in mountainous terrain is not only a privilege of tourists or athletes but also the work environment for many professionals. One group of these, military personnel, differs from the others. The stay of armed forces has distinct purposes – to fulfill an operation. Moving and staying in remote exposed terrains requires the use of specific techniques. One of the unusual techniques utilized mostly by armies is the construction of improvised via ferrata routes. Those are mostly built for non-climbing units for their safety in rocky terrain. The construction itself differs from common saved routes in a few features whereas the most important one is the utilization of textile, dynamic rope instead of the steel one. Whilst common steel-saved routes are a matter of thorough examinations with normalized tests, proper construction manuals, and precise results, there is no similar knowledge of improvised via ferratas. We performed 80 falls in 8 different conditions to find out more about impact forces at improvised via ferratas.
