Oo
I'd argue that since the picture in question is actually of someone
climbing a tower, and whether the picture:
a) represents safe climbing practice
b) encourages safe climbing practice
it's pretty on-topic.
My own thought is that the harness looks pretty loose, and it's
obviously a staged photo.
But there's some interesting points that have been brought up - for
instance, while the knot used to tie off isn't what *I* would use (a
figure 8), the use of zip ties to hold the free end of the rope is
something unusual, but seems to work - it's not a structural part of the
system. I'd personally prefer something that doesn't require a tool to
remove it, and realistically, I'd probably just leave the end flopping
around, unless it were WAY too long.
