Which component is not typically part of a personal fall arrest system?

The correct choice identifies bungee cords as a component that is not typically part of a personal fall arrest system. In personal fall arrest systems, the key components include a body harness, connectors, and anchorage systems.

A body harness is designed to distribute the forces experienced during a fall, ensuring the safety and comfort of the worker. Connectors, such as carabiners or snap hooks, facilitate secure attachment to the anchorage point and other system components. Anchorage points provide the secure attachment needed for the entire system to function properly.

Bungee cords, while they may have some applications in other scenarios, are not suitable for fall arrest systems because they can stretch and recoil. This could lead to inconsistent and unpredictable forces being applied during a fall, which does not meet the safety standards required for fall protection equipment. Thus, bungee cords do not conform to the safety regulations and guidelines typically required for effective personal fall arrest systems.
