Lighting&Sound America Online - News: "Sapsis Rigging, Inc. announces the SRI ProPlus Fall Protection System, designed for technicians working at height in the entertainment industry."
That's great. The only truly 'riggers' harness that I was aware of until now was made by Yates, which is also an industrial supply company. Having a rigging manufacture build a harness that understands our needs as they pertain to comfort, mobility, accessibility, and safety sounds like a great idea. I hope this will alleviate all the confusion about people being to own their own harnesses versus needing the company to supply it. I know harnesses need to be inspected by insurance companies and blah blah blah, but TRUSTING that a harness has been maintained at some road house where its more than likely just been sitting in some moldy closet for years doesn't invoke confidence in me. I feel much more comfortable owning my own.
