bizarre What's The Point Of A Safety Harness

[Fäthër Cörpsë]

You're still alive so does this mean you always used your harness?

Interesting you mention - when I first started, it actually wasn’t code requirement to wear tie off when on the leading edge. If you were stationary then you tie off. That phased out mid 2000s, and I always wore my harness and tied off.

Once fell, but was tied off. That me at the bottom, dangling there

Oof, you're lucky. I used to know this guy who was a house painter, and he was on a scaffold, not even that high up, he fell, and broke his back. I don't think he used a harness or was required to either.
The doctors finally put two long metal rods in his back on either side of his spine but, he was always in alot of pain he said & he was taking morphine. That only helps so much though. He had some other surgeries too, before they went with the two rods. I guess they didn't help. He was pretty young when that happened too.

So now what do you?
