Is it safe to hang upside-down in a New Tribe Saddle?
Our New Tribe saddles, when properly fitted to the climber’s size, are safe for “bat hang,” even for small kids and small-hipped grownups. We’ve used them in countless Kids’ Climbs at fairs, ISA shows and private climbs, for over 15 years. With the saddle properly fitted with the cinch strap snug at the waist, it stays in place no matter what maneuvers a climber makes. We can’t say that it is impossible to slip out of our saddle when hanging upside-down, but no one has yet been able to do it.
