i have seen a harness with the retractable action as to slide urself down to the ground at will.

the reason they died was lack of circulation, there is a name for it but i do not remember. basically you are poisoning yourself, because the blood doesnt move freely enough.

i have fallin asleep in my harness suspended while bow hunting, arms a lil sleepy and sumtimes my feet, but needless to say i didnt die
Hss has An extra strap to relieve pressure around the legs so u can keep circulation
