    hiya guys thanks in advance for any help, many years ago i was on a adventure day on a foreign holiday where i did a rock climbing wall. i was in a harness and attached to a spring loaded strap. as i climbed higher the strap retracted into a little box about the size of a 4pack of coke cans. when i got to the top i just let go and the strap slowly came out of the box and i when down at a safe speed.

    the strap was about 1in wide it covered a distance of about 30ft and i remember asking the guy if they were expensive? he said about 500 dollars.

    i have tried to find such a device on the internet but failed from my research so far I've concluded it must be some sort of an automatic decent control device but I've found none anywhere if that type. anybody know what exactly it could be called or where i might acquire one ? thanks guys
