I'm getting queasy just looking at it! Imagine the pain!!! All men have been "pinched" before, but that is unreal.

 

[Stumper]

Wrong solution. Tighten the WAIST belt. Most pinching and discomfort is causes by tight leg loops rather than one loose enough to slip down the leg when unloaded, It is very important that the waist be cinched snugly however. Otherwise waistbelt slides to chest and leg loops get full load while pinching personal areas.

A good example of why I don't wear boxer shorts when wearing a harness.

Read the article again before fainting, guys!

He was caught by a too loose fall arrest harness.
That is unlikely to happen to someone in our line of work, since we don't use the harness as fall arrest, but rather to hang from while working.

Do you feel a little better now!

 

[treebear]

Good! finally someone that got the point. If we use our equipment the way we´re supposed to do - max fall factor one - this is very unlikely to happen. The attachment point in our harness is also so lw situated that in an event of hanging after a fall the body would be more horisontal than vertical meaning less stress on the bollocks - but opening for other problems. So please guys - don´t expose yourself for falls!!!

A little heads up with the content and a written summary would be nice (for graphic images). That way we choose to view the photo or not. And, let's not forget that many of us have children.



I'll make sure I wear my harness correctly today.

"Lessons to Learn" as stated seem so general as to be worthless. I'm not sure what what I learned from this.

 

[FlashTreetop1]

Out of your post, what I liked most was the pictures. The exploding sack was a nice touch!!!

I disagree. Anyone working in a bucket truck should use afall restraint harness not a work positioning harness.
