This tag is meant for hiking trails, it shouldn't be used for highway=via_ferrata because those ways are secured continuously by technical means.
How to map
This tag is part of safety measures on hiking trails. If you don't want to split a longer highway=path into several segments to tag their particular safety measures with the main tags described below, you can add the following tag to the whole highway=path:
| Key | Value | Element | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| assisted_trail | yes |  |
Way segment with various safety measures |
If you want to be more precise you can tag the individual sections of the way or just nodes 
where are the technical devices with:
- highway=ladder (note that ladder=* has been deprecated)
- safety_rope=*
- rungs=*
