A new way i've been using my lanyard

[morten]

This quote is a bit flawed as if someone had two load bearing anchor points then the bridge is always going to be a single point of failure unless your close to the stem and using side ds

 

Sure, but if your lanyard is connected to the side D's you won't have a single point of failure in the system. So moving from that configuration, you reduce the inherent protection in the system.

Yeah i get what you mean but not all side ds are rated to be hung from so if your in a position where your tied in twice but on the front d then its a single point. This is a reason i want to try the treemotion as you can hang from the side d

I'm with Ben. I think it's the same with all bridge type harnesses. The treemotions' use of a rope just makes it seem less able to deal with a bit of unintentional Silky action....

[Swampster]

....Ben, go and buy one. You won't regret it.

Just use the bottom D's

If worried about cutting the bridge and the bridge failing, then why not do what is often done in climbing with a back up tied through leg loop and waist belt?

[Mesterh]

I've been doing that for years, never had a problem.

 

 

Since its for getting a good working position it makes sense to clip it wherever gets you that good working position.

 

Sometimes I think you fellas worry about stuff too much!

Indeed, its not like its ever going to get shock loaded.

Try a Bat plate instead,Bit of an overkill using a HC.
