My limited experince has been that this loads the harness in an awkard manner (due to the 3-direction loading), as the load of your weight while abseiling is distributed on to the leg loops too much. And not being comfortable while abseiling can be distracting and a contributer to acidents. So I have relied entirely on the belay loop. But this event puts a new perspective on the issue.
