A similar thing happens with suspension trauma when you fall and deploy PFAS. Deaths occur after rescue if not handled properly.

>deploy PFAS

Nothing I love more than an inaccessible acronym not spelled out for ease of understanding on a global message board.

Yeah, not sure what they're gonna do with all that time they saved. PFAS = Personal Fall Arrest System. Harnesses, lanyards, and yoyos designed to stop you from falling to your death. Hanging in a harness is PAINFUL and it absolutely cuts off circulation to your legs. Getting down out of the harness as soon as possible is a priority.
