En integrert falldemper sikrer at fangtrykket aldri vil overstige 6kN.
An integrate "fall mute" ensures that knee pressure will never exceed 6kN.

I'm not satisfied with the term "fall mute", is it maybe "fall arrest"? I'm just not sure.

fall damper
Explanation:
Falldemper is used to secure workers in perilous situations, where one might actually fall off a roof or a structure. Fashionable it certainly isn't, but it could save your life. Fall arrestor would stop the fall, while the fall damper reduces the G-force in the arrest.
