a test suspension in a safe location. Breathing must not be restricted when
the user is freely suspended. The suspension position should not cause pain
nor stress to the back or bending of the lower back. Metal components should
not cause irritation of the lower back or vertebrae. Only loops and eyes
intended for this purpose should be used to tie into the harness (fig. 7, 8).
Tie into the harness (fig. 1) using a figure-of-eight knot.

with a sit harness. Type B climbing harnesses may be used only be persons up
to 40 kg. After a hard fall (fall factor >= 1) the climbing harness must be
immediately discarded.

(fig.3-6).
