That was helpful, thanks. I guess I will look around to see if I can find one in a store as opposed to ordering online. That way I know what I'm getting. I think the belt is antiquated at this point, but better than nothing. I don't necessarily agree that hanging from a belt is going to leave you without options and just hanging there till someone finds your lifeless, cold body.

Granted hanging there would suck, but I think you would be able to recover somehow. I am sure there are some people out there who wouldn't recover due to being out of shape. Hence, the harness is the way to go.
