That's not really a sidenote, that's a *life or death* point about
harnesses in general.

Use a REAL harness and not a "belt".

Never, never use a "climbing belt" as your fall protection when climbing a
tower. That's a good way to end up dead for many reasons (no rescue points,
putting thousands of pounds of force on your pelvis, etc.).

Do it right OR DON'T DO IT!
