Harness repair and LOLER

Recommended Posts

I have a Petzel Sequoia harness, its not old, bought it at Christmas.

 

Had a little slip off a branch, the elastic bands that go from the rear of the waist to the rear of the thigh straps, got caught and my body weight snapped them and I took a fair old swing, luckily didn't hit the stem.

 

Can the elastic bands just be replaced and sewn back on?

 

Will it affect LOLER?

 

They are non structural, in fact do they need to be there at all to pass a LOLER?

I would imagine that as they're not part of the life support system it shouldn't affect LOLER either way.

 

If you do sew it back make sure you don't end up altering any of the load bearing parts to avoid any doubt.

 

Lad I work with wears a TM which the elastic has come undone on, never bothered to reattach it. Philistine I reckon, but it works for him!

I've been climbing on it, its fine really, just the thigh straps sit quite low, mainly when you are standing up, not in a tree.
