It seems that a locking biner or maillon is safer for the people below you than a non-locking biner. But, I have also heard that locking your pack to your body is a drowning hazard. Has that ever happened? Or is that just someones random thought?
NZcaver wrote:I should clarify my previous comment. My logic behind recommending a low profile, rated locking carabiner for the pack tether wasn't specifically for locking the pack to the harness. It was for locking when you find you need to use the carabiner for something else in a pinch, like rigging a rebelay or constructing a haul system to move a injured colleague. Just maybe.
