G.1.1 Suspension intolerance is a condition in which a suspended person, e.g. in a harness, can experience certain unpleasant symptoms, which can lead to unconsciousness and eventually death. The reason for this is that the body is not tolerant of being in an upright position and motionless at the same time. Persons likely to be affected are those who are suspended in a generally upright position and who are motionless, for example, when seriously injured or unconscious, or when fastened vertically in a stretcher.Suspension intolerance is also currently known by several other names, which include suspensionNOTE trauma, orthostatic intolerance and harness-induced pathology.
