Abstract
A vehicle motion arresting mechanism for arresting the motion of a vehicle is provided. The mechanism includes a pendant for engaging an engagement member of the vehicle; a first tension limiting member attached to a first end of the pendant, the first tension limiting member having a first shear pin; a second tension limiting member attached to a second end of the pendant, the second tension limiting member having a second shear pin; a tension adjusting member attached to the first tension limiting member and for adjusting an at-rest tension of the pendant; a first anchoring member for anchoring the tension adjusting member to the ground; and a second anchoring member for anchoring the second tension limiting member to the ground. The first and second shear pins are adapted to break when the pendant experiences a predetermined tension, the breaking of the first shear pin allowing the pendant to separate from the tension adjusting member, and the breaking of the second shear pin allowing the pendant to separate from the second anchoring member.
