This rope harness is antiquated. It is a Swiss Seat. The ORCA tape harness is safer and more comfortable doesn't crush your fun parts and it can be loosened or tightened without retying the knots, it is easy to run with.
While I completely agree this type of harness is no longer really used, most would prefer to make one out of 3/4 inch tubular nylon. This is one of the knot tests at school. The students are not allowed to dictate which knots they will do for the test. When it comes to rappelling at school they will use a black diamond manufactured harness.
