Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1852145A1] The harness (10) has a belt (13) equipped with a ventral fastener loop (19), and a pair of shoulder straps (14, 15) joined by a sternal fastener loop (22) having an antifall upper fastener point. The sternal fastener loop is located above the ventral fastener loop having a lower fastener loop. A trigger or cam type ventral blocker (23) is inserted between the fastener loops to ensure a resistant connection between the straps and a leg strap formed by a pair of thigh girths (11, 12) and the belt. The belt and the thigh girths are internally folded twice with breathable cushioned foam.
