The Mad Rock Safeguard is an excellent tool for rescue and rigging work. It locks onto the rope with minimal force, ensuring the device remains secure once set, without creeping or sliding.

 

As a springless version of the Mad Rock Lifeguard, the Safeguard quickly and reliably grabs the rope, effectively stopping any feeding or descent. The springless design is particularly advantageous for route setters, camera operators, arborists, riggers, and other specialised uses, though it is not suitable for lead climbing.

 

The Mad Rock Safeguard is ideal for single rope rappelling during route development and rope work as it’s unique design significantly simplifies work on a single line compared to any other assisted-braking device.
