Clip Harnesses, also refered to as Drop Harnesses, are useful when operating on rooftops or rappelling down buildings and consist of a coiled safety line with a stout magnetic or hook fixture, all attached to a belt or torso harness. A typical harnesses can hold 150kg, while most good quality harnesses can support 200 kg.[2]

Common in hives such as those on Necromunda where even the simplest journey into the underhive can prove dangerous as travellers must cross narrow gangways suspended over dizzying drops or climb over materials so old they fall apart to dust at the slightest touch. Many Underhivers will improvise safety equipment to protect them from an unexpected and unpleasant end. In the constant battles between Underhive gangs, these typically consist of nothing more than a safety line wrapped around the body with a metal clip or magnet that they can attach to a structure.[1]
