The fall protection has two catches (37a), each of which is provided with a comb (45). These combs are coupled to one another such that when one of the catches comes into action the comb of this catch is activated and thereby activates the comb of the other catch which is the coupling pin (27) of this other capture and will bring this other catch into effect.
