- And think how you are going to get down once you are dangling in the
- harness.

When you fall you should be be in fairly close proximity to the
scaffolding or the ladder. In fact its hard to visualise a situation
where this wouldn't apply. Given which you can grasp the
ladder or the scaffolding and release the rope.
In any case when attaching a rope to a harness it should first be run
around and through a karibiner and attached using a quick release
device rather than a knot. In the event of a fall this will allow the
user to easily release the rope and control the speed of the rope by
using the friction of the rope going through the Karibiner to
allow a slow descent.

- You don't have long dangling before blood starts to pool in
- your legs and nasty physilogical things start to happen, including
- death.
