Abstract: A method of assembling a ratcheting strap adjuster comprises inserting a distal end of a rotation assembly through first and second apertures in respective first and second side plates of a frame, with a proximal end of the rotation assembly positioned proximate the first side plate and the distal end positioned proximate the second side plate. A captive member is movably connected to the second side plate proximate the distal end, wherein the captive member is movable between an engaging position and a releasing position, and wherein an engaging portion of the captive member is configured and arranged to selectively engage the distal end of the rotation assembly in the engaging position.

Abstract: A combination leg pad and trauma strap comprises a trauma strap and a leg pad. The trauma strap includes an intermediate portion interconnecting a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes a loop forming a first portion and a second portion. The leg pad includes a pad, a pad cover, and a housing panel. The first portion is positioned proximate the housing panel and the second portion is positioned between the pad cover and the pad. The pad cover and the housing panel form a channel through the loop between the first and second portions configured and arranged to receive a leg strap of a safety harness thereby connecting the trauma strap to the safety harness when installed on the safety harness.

Abstract: An adjustable safety harness comprises first and second shoulder straps, a waist strap, and pad assemblies. A shoulder pad assembly comprises a base pad portion, first and second shoulder pad portions, and first and second extension portions. The first and second shoulder pad portions extend from the base pad portion. The first and second extension portions are selectively operatively connected to the first and second shoulder pad portions. A waist pad assembly comprises a base waist pad portion and first and second side pad portions. The first and second side pad portions are selectively operatively connected to the base waist pad portion. At least a portion of each of the first and second side pad portions includes at least two sizing indicators configured and arranged to provide selective adjustment of the adjustable padding to one of at least two sizes.
