Home made bridge - is this safe?

[jrose]

Hi all

 

Noticed today that the bridge on my Stein harness was becoming a bit too worn for my liking! I'm going to replace the harness in the next few weeks, considering a tree motion and so fancied trying out the idea of a rope bridge.

 

Can anyone see any problems with the pic? A short length of Blue Tongue, tied off at each end with a double fisherman's to the Edelrid Connecto rings.

 

Obviously I will trim the tails to an appropriate length once I have the bridge length right... any other thoughts?

 

Cheers

Joe

Looks safe enough to me.. Rated climbing line, fishermans, seems legit. Don't know if I'd climb on anything that I'd constructed, but I'm paranoid like that. Anyway, ditch the vega harness, I didn't realise how much I hated it until I got a petzl sequoia

Cheers, I couldn't see any real problem with it - not sure if it would pass LOLER, depends on inspector maybe?

 

I really like this harness, only reason I'm getting a different one is because I fancy a change! I had a skylotec in my old job and liked that, so torn between getting one of those or a tree motion

I thought I was going to see something like this:
