safety harness
Climber's security strap
A safety harness is a system of straps worn around the body to prevent falls or secure a person in place.
Workers at heights wear them attached to anchors or lifelines: The roofer clipped his safety harness to the rope.
They're also used in vehicles, amusement rides, and climbing.
Distinguished from simpler seat belts by distributing force across the torso and thighs.
