Mine safety & post fall arrest

Been visiting a northern mine for the past week, conducting some mine rescue/first aid type training. Been a good visit. Off to another property for a few days to conduct some post fall arrest type training.
With the pressures that are placed on the lower body when a person falls, there is absolutely no excuse to not have some method to allow a worker to raise himself off of the straps. Have some pictures that are not appropriate for my forum but I cannot imagine the pain the worker was in.
If you are doing rescue work this can be easily remedied by a webbing strap to a lower leg.
I will be posting some pictures on this when I get home. js
