Got in the tower today, brand spanking new harnesses (full body).

That's also been reviewed, must have front D chest area.

How many of those dumb ole harnesses never had a front D for abseil? Ever tried to abseil from a D on the back?

So changes there. Also the driver told me they had to have their harnesses tested, only one year old harnesses both failed the test!
