second tie in a hazard? here's some pics. admittedly a hazardous thing to do in the first place. bypass cut and a solid jump on top. i'm tied in about 15' in front of me and below me in the first pic is very steep bank. about a 30' swing.

Thier has been times I have felt having my lanyard on possed a threat as I had no escape route, but this is very rare.

Doesn't ANSI require the double tie-in, but offers thoe out for when the "OSHA defined responsibel person" determines it is safer to not tie in?

Same with one-handing a chainsaw. it puts the onus on management for the safety issue.
