Rope vs Self Retracting Lifeline

Every roofer should make safety a top priority. But how do you know what type of materials to use? In this video I'll be comparing the regular harness rope vs a Self Retracting Lifeline, and we'll discuss how they work so you can see which one you would prefer to use on a real life roofing project.

Great comparison. I wasn't aware of the retractable kind. I think I would prefer the rope too, though in some cases I'd just throw the end off the roof so it would be out of the way. I'm considering roofing my own house this summer and I'll definitely be using a safety harness.
