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.
