Halibut Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have. ? As with my harness, the attachment point is below the navel and above the crotch, top roping doesn't mean she can't end up upside down. Then let's hope the infant is securely fastened.

HeadingNorth Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 But you would expect most people to belt a baby into a car in the same way you would yourself, but yet this lady didnt feel the need but a helmet on the little un.. Are there, I wonder, any likely scenarios in which a helmetless baby would die but a one wearing a helmet would have lived? In any fall, it's almost certainly going to die either way, so the wearing of a helmet might not actually be of any use. (That said, if I were ever inclined to do any helmet-required activity while carrying a baby, I would have given said baby a helmet without ever thinking about if it was necessary or not.)

MrSmith Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Rock climbing with baby onboard. Linky. Quite funny that she says the baby doesn't need a helmet, though she wears one herself. I wouldn't like to be hit in the face with the helmet, and I have fallen on several occasions and even with the safety equipment it still hurts when you bounce off the rock face.
