which is the best position for the fall arrest lanyard, front or back. I
use the back, but ran across this picture today
The correct place for a fall arrest lanyard is the D-ring between your
shoulder blades. That will catch you in a more benign posture.
The D-ring in the front is for when you use a safety climb cable and
slider system with a climbing ladder or pegs. You don't have the same fall
exposure that you have when you're climbing around the tower and using your
fall arrest lanyard so a little fall while attached to the safety climb isn't
as potentially dangerous.
