ABSTRACT:
A harness for minimizing possible back injury from excessive or improper bending and lifting includes a flexible back strap, a pair of flexible shoulder straps attached to the back strap, and an anchor holding the back strap to the wearer's pants. The pair of shoulder straps fit over the wearer's shoulders and below the wearer's shoulder blades so that the wearer has free movement of his scapula and arms. The anchor and pants restrain back bending by the wearer beyond a predetermined maximum angle by the interference of the wearer's pants with the anatomic structure of the wearer's groin.
