And should you fall and be dangling in your harness who is going to

your legs and the brain starved of blood and thus oxygen.


Fair question.

In my case, me if I'm still conscious as I use a rope and descendeur.

If I'm unconscious then I could be in trouble. But then I can't think
when I last used a ladder where there was a risk of something falling on
me. And the risk of a fall due to heart attack, haemorrhage etc seems
to me not unlike the risk of the same happening in a car at 70 mph and
that doesn't stop me driving alone.
