True or False: Class two harnesses are designed for 600 lb loads and will not keep the rescuer upright if they become unconscious.

Class two harnesses are specifically designed for use in various rescue scenarios and are rated for loads of up to 600 pounds. However, while they can support this weight, one of the significant limitations of class two harnesses is that they do not provide full-body support. This means that if a rescuer using a class two harness becomes unconscious, the harness will not adequately keep them upright, increasing the risk of suspension trauma or other injuries associated with being suspended in a harness. This characteristic is crucial for safety considerations in rescue operations. In contrast, other harness types, like full body harnesses, are designed to prevent such issues by keeping the individual in an upright position and distributing weight more evenly, thereby mitigating the dangers of suspension.
