Suggestion - comments welcome
I echo the thoughts here- I cant imagine the pain the family is going through or the last moments of this poor mans life - It's a horrible fate.
I'm not a surf fisherman - I only fish from my boat - but I've sailed all of my life and have sailed offshore extensively. It seems to me a harness which is used on sailboats quite effectively could be used in precarious situations on land.
The rig on a sailboat is to string a jack line from stem to stern - the harness is then clipped to the jack line. This setup allows you to move about the boat while being clipped to a safety line at all times. I could envision a similar setup rigged along the shore where fishing is dangerous.
Now - I imagine that you guys move around a fair amount (true?) - so you could rig the jack line anchors a few hundred yards apart - with your harness clipped on Lets say you anchor the two ends of the jack line a couple hundred yards apart - then put on the harness and clip in. I'd bet that mountain climbing equipment could be used as well.
Thoughts???? Would this work?
