Harnesses

Abstract

A harness including a waist belt to which two side attachment arrangements are connected; two forward attachment arrangements. A respective riser extends between each forward attachment arrangement and one corresponding side attachment arrangement. Each side attachment arrangement includes a securing component, typically in the form of a standing ring and a lying ring assembly. The securing component is connected to the waist belt, and the lying ring assembly is held by the securing component against the waist belt. The lying ring assembly includes a retention component that, in use, passes through a loop or an eye in the riser to connect the riser to the lying ring assembly. The retention component is removable from the lying ring assembly to release the connection between the riser and the lying ring assembly.
