Trolley bumpers shall be capable of stopping the trolley at an average rate of deceleration not exceeding 4.7 feet per second per second when traveling in either direction at 1/3 of the rated load speed. Bumpers shall be designed and installed to minimize parts falling from the trolley in case of breakage.
