Are leg loops rated full strength?	21-Apr-2009 At 10:09:35 PM	Marssan

The recent discussion re: abseiling with a backup autoblock/prussic attached to a leg loop (on the accidents forum) reminded me of a comment my instructor made during a self rescue course I did a while ago. As he observed me negotiate a knot on abseil he said I shouldn't have my prussic attached to a leg loop because they aren't full strength like the waist belt. I have owned many harnesses and taken many falls on all of them and have never seen any evidence of the leg loops deteriorating or failing. My own experience is clearly not level 1a evidence but it makes me wonder: Has anyone ever blown a leg loop? What parts of the harness are full strength? Anyone know?
