disaster Worker Falls When Rope Breaks

"Employee dies after falling from glass dome in São Paulo business center

According to a witness, he was hanging for about 20 minutes.

A 48-year-old man died on Monday afternoon, the 29th, after falling from the dome of the Steel Business Center (CEA), in the south of São Paulo.
The victim was installing window film on the building's roof in the morning when one of the windows cracked. The employee fell into the building but remained suspended by a rope attached to the ceiling.
According to a witness interviewed by the report, the man remained in this position for about 20 minutes, but gradually fell as time passed. The rope holding him down eventually came loose, and he fell into the reception hall on the ground floor.(...)"


 
Rope didn't appear to break. It appears as though he wasnt wearing his harness properly. You can see that he only had the torso latch on and not the two that go around your legs. He would literally still be alive had he worn it properly.
I think the hundred foot fall from the roof far exceeded the harness's maximum tolerance levels stopping the fat bastard before catastrophic failure.
