and her twisted titties?

I wonder how a professional rigger would have approached the same stunt?

Supposedly "professionals"were consulted regarding the setup. It seems the problem was just the harness, or the way it was worn...

wow, reminds me of when the professional intelligence officers convinced Hillary Clinton and the other democrats as well as W and Cheney that weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq- I was for it before I was against it.. Senator Kerry... Dem. from Mass.

Ever see a figure 8 eat up a T-shirt on rappel? A titty twister' of rope, shirt and '8, left a girl I knew hanging mid rap'. Had to come down and cut her shirt free with a knife, leaving about an 8 inch diameter hole in the middle of it for the rest of the day.

WOW man! Hair and cloths getting tangled in gear! Who'd a thunk it?
a creepy old man cutting young girls shirts off...... classic but......

simply put...she should have been in a body harness not a climbing harness...the coroner also said that she had to clip herself in while it was dark...so she couldn't see exactly what she was doing...and only had a piece of tape to guide her to where the locking biner needed to go through the grigri

Regardless of what kind of harness it was, she needed to clip into it. You can't fall out of a properly fitting waist harness by flipping upside down. I don't care if she had 4 body harnesses on... the system wouldn't have worked if they weren't attached to anything.

I guess I missed the part of the bible that says to be a good christian you must go to a huge church and put on elaborately choreographed shows for major holidays. There must be a line in Leviticus somewhere that says something like, "Thou shalt not play a hip hop beat in the presence of either jesus or god's characters."

What the hell are you talking about? It is a Christmas show, is that somehow offensive to you?
