Apart from the obvious bulk, weight and movement issues i reckon you would be better off falling into a tree work harness as opposed to a little flimsy rock climbing harness.

Rock climbing harness dont even have padding or if so very little, compared to for example a tree motion harness.

I realise they are both rated to a min of 22kn and that YOU would probably break before the harness but what are thoughts anyway...
Been there, done that... had absolutely no problem with it. I've got a Treemotion saddle and before that I used a petzl falcon and a navaho . I retired those because the sidestraps as an add on are absolutely worthless.
