Suspension trauma relief strap

Anti trauma suspension strap

Extremely effective and specially designed to mitigate the negative effects of hanging in a harness for a long time. These straps ensure that your leg straps are released. This is good for blood circulation. When you hang in a harness for too long, it is bad for your legs, they pinch off because the leg straps get too tight.

Fall protection is a rescue device that prevents people from falling to the ground. But when hanging in a body harness one has to quickly stand on the floor. When someone hangs in a harness for too long, there is a risk of 'suspension trauma' and the risk of death is still high. In order to prevent permanent damage, someone must be rescued within 15 minutes.

Because the straps of the leg straps press into your groin, blood vessels are squeezed there. As a result, blood circulation largely stops and blood accumulates in your legs. In addition, it is necessary that the legs continue to move. The muscle pump function that normally pushes blood toward your heart can no longer work when the legs stop moving. The result is that the heart does not get enough blood back from the legs to send to the brain and that after a while one becomes unconscious with all the consequences that entail.
