WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTE: An improper or incomplete engagement is pos-
sible when the inside diameter of the D-ring is very close to the width of
the snap hook. As a result, when attempting to engage the snap hook of
a connecting device with a D-ring at the back of a harness, the user expe-
riences a feeling of proper engagement while in fact the snap hook sits
only inside the D-ring. This improper or incomplete engagement is unsafe
and is likely to come apart during a fall arrest.
