An energy absorber system comprising: a first strip of webbing having a first end portion, a second end portion and a mid section between the first end portion and the second end portion; a second strip of webbing having a first end portion, a second end portion and a mid section between the first end portion and the second end portion; a plurality of tear yarns coupling the mid sections 110c, 120c) of the first and second strips of webbing to form a centrally located mid portion of the first and second strips of webbing; a first connection member, the first end portion of the first strip of webbing and the second end portion of the second strip of webbing coupled to the first connection member; and a second connection member, the first end portion of the second strip of webbing and the second end portion of the first strip of webbing coupled to the second connection member, such that when the first and second connection members (102, 104) are pulled away from each other during a fall event the tear yarns holding the mid portion of the first and second strips of webbing (110, 120) are torn generally simultaneously from opposite ends of the mid portion of the first and second strips therein absorbing energy until the first and second strips of the webbing are separated; characterized in that the mid portion includes an unattached section without tear yarns located at a centrally located portion of the mid portion and that the mid portion further includes first and second transition ramp down sections (227a, 227b), each having a tear yarn arrangement that produces transition tear strength sections that respectfully lead into the centrally located unattached section. a first strip of webbing having a first end portion, a second end portion and a mid section between the first end portion and the second end portion; a second strip of webbing having a first end portion, a second end portion and a mid section between the first end portion and the second end portion; a plurality of tear yarns coupling the mid sections 110c, 120c) of the first and second strips of webbing to form a centrally located mid portion of the first and second strips of webbing; a first connection member, the first end portion of the first strip of webbing and the second end portion of the second strip of webbing coupled to the first connection member; and a second connection member, the first end portion of the second strip of webbing and the second end portion of the first strip of webbing coupled to the second connection member, such that when the first and second connection members (102, 104) are pulled away from each other during a fall event the tear yarns holding the mid portion of the first and second strips of webbing (110, 120) are torn generally simultaneously from opposite ends of the mid portion of the first and second strips therein absorbing energy until the first and second strips of the webbing are separated; characterized in that the mid portion includes an unattached section without tear yarns located at a centrally located portion of the mid portion and that the mid portion further includes first and second transition ramp down sections (227a, 227b), each having a tear yarn arrangement that produces transition tear strength sections that respectfully lead into the centrally located unattached section.
