I wish someone would maybe do a thread about what you would do if you fell "with" a harness attached. Has anyone here ever given thought to how you will extricate or relieve pressure from your extremities within 20 minutes. That is about how much time you have (I have been told), before you will start losing conciousness.

Any opinions or experiences?

For the guys who do wear a safety vest, they should ALWAYS keep a knife in their pocket to cut themselves free for that very reason. What you were told is very true. You'll die hanging like that for too long. I forget how long it takes, but it's not nearly as long as you would think!
