  The LHC beam dump system is used to dispose accelerated protons and ions in a wide energy range from 450 GeV up to 7 TeV. An abort gap of 3 microseconds is foreseen to avoid sweeping particles through the ring aperture. This paper gives a brief overview of the critical apertures in the extraction region and the two beam dump lines, and presents MAD-X tracking studies made to investigate the impact of particles swept through the aperture due to extraction kicker failures or spurious particles within the abort gap.
