Ouch!
Having a couple Ti plates and 19 Ti screws in my arm I
can only imagine a spinefull!
Comfort goes a long way towards safety, if your safety
gear is uncomfortable you're less likely to wear it or
be distracted by the pain when you should be watching
the hot, hard, sharp, spinning, smashing things.
The strap set up I described distributes the weight of
the apron between your shoulders and hips. The belt
reaching all the way around your waist also keeps it
snug to your body and less likely to get caught by or
on things.
It is hands down the most comfortable and secure apron
strap arrangement I've ever used.

Wrought iron is.
