Thank you for sending me that string. It was very interesting. There
certainly seem to be some people in this circle who know what they are
talking about. You may want to pass this on for general info so that
everyone understands fully why the Navaho Vario is not considered a
fall arrest harness. Regulations dictate that any harness to be used
for fall arrest be a full body harness. This applies to work and
rescue situations only. As such, even climbing harnesses can't be
considered fall arrest harness for W & R applications, even though
climbers regularly take falls in them. The only way a harness can be
for fall arrest for W & R applications is for it to be a full body
harness. This has nothing to do with the strength of the harness. It
is simply a design requirement that has been set down. Let me know if
you'd like one of our W & R catalogs.
Thanks
Koby
