De las normas de la ISAF, Offshore Safety Regulations:

3.14.2 Lifeline deflection shall not exceed the following:
a) When a deflecting force of 4 kg/f (39.2 N) is applied to a lifeline midway between supports of an upper or single lifeline, the lifeline shall not deflect more than 50mm. This measurement shall be taken at the widest span between supports that are aft of the mast.

b) When a deflecting force of 4 kg/f (39.2 N) is applied midway between supports of an intermediate lifeline of all spans that are aft of the mast, deflection shall not exceed 120mm from a straight line between the stanchions.

Pues eso es bastante flojito.
Una carga de 4 kg y una fecha de 5 cm.
No digamos para los de abajo, si hay varios, que permite una flecha de 12 cm.
