Can anyone with more medical knowledge comment on the potential damage caused by strains placed on the body of a climber in an unconscious position. We experimented with seeing how long one could hang in such a position during a TMC and it was extremely uncomfortable, most only lasted 10 or 20 seconds. This was to highlight how important it was to get to an unconscious climber and place them in a more upright position with a makeshift chest harness.
