[QUOTE="UNG, post: 545310, member: 8931"] Many who are using harnesses and fall arrest / restraint have never had any training and the conseqences can be in some circumstances fatal if a fall occurs. While the dorsal connection point on a harness in some situations can be useful IMO it should never be used for fall arrest as self rescue is virtually impossible and also due to the risk of suspension trauma which generally needs a rescue within 10 minutes as after 17 - 20 minutes hanging face down with pressure on your chest you are likely to be close to death even when rescued there is still risk and the casualty should not laid flat but placed in a sitting "w" position to avoid pooled blood and toxins in the legs causing reflow syndrome [/QUOTE]
