ctardi,
Thanks for your comments mate. [Linked Image]
My Faults truck has two ladders on a Gantry system that I keep outside each night.
I have managed to slip off the ladder early in the morning due to ice on the rungs, while wearing a pole belt.
Now so far, I have been able to get back onto the ladder rungs.
Now,
Any pole belt that could concievably restrict the blood flow to the lower legs (bearing in mind that there is a major artery running down both of your legs) should be banned.
Because even if you are rescued in time, you run the risk of poisoning from acids accumulated from the lack of blood flow, culminating in Toxic Shock syndrome when the person is released from the said harness.
I like the one that mainly just sits around my backside, without other support.
I'm still wearing it to this day, it hasn't done me any harm.
Your thoughts guys?.
