• The “Killer App” would combine a Fall Arrest Harness (which is also used for Confined Space Rescue )
• The benefits of this would be twofold
  • 1.) No need to double up on gear so added convenience
  • 2.) It would add an incentive to wear your fall arrest PPE as now instead of “doing nothing”, it would have the tangible benefit of your back hurting less at the end of the day
