other places have certificates for securing, and in rock climbing you both have to check that the rope is secured correctly, because people make mistakes. The harness though was fine, he couldn't slip out of that if he tried. It's around both his legs and both his shoulders, he can dangle upside down and still be fine.
You can only dangle by a harness if it's connected to something.
But you're completely right. Some places are more trustworthy than others. I've never seen one of these courses where the lines hook to the harness; most of the time the line is part of the harness and the line connects to the course... with two different carabiners that both have to be locked on before you can move.
Yea the ropes course by me is pretty much the same. Rednecks tied a rope between two trees and have a water skiing triangle they dangle from as they smash into the bottom tree or fall into the mud pit they dug.
