Figure 3.1. Straight Hanger Bar with Quick Release
The straight hanger bar features a quick disconnect that allows the use of a single point
harness when the intention is slight support or safety from falling during activity.
The Quick Release pin (see Figure 3.2) is used to disconnect the hanger bar from the clevis. It
can be reconnected to a Single Point Support harness either directly or a carabiner can be used.
