Training: Fire fighter VRS: Rigging option #3: ‘Cobra belt’ in pants
This video, along with the other three in the series, will review one of the four belt and harness rigging options available to our personnel. The ‘Cobra belt’, worn in the turnout pants, is intended to work in conjunction with an "integrated" system or one that IS pre-attached to a belt or harness, This belt is relatively new on the market and provides and incredibly low profile, light weigh alternative to the more traditional and bulkier Escape Belts. Just like anything else there are both advantages and disadvantages to pre-connecting a PES/PSS/VRS to your belt or harness. The user needs to understand all the factors involved before they can make and educated decision on which setup they prefer.
