Josh,
You must have bought their FP-5600. Their FP-5602 is $18 more ($99) and has
the D rings on the hips that you want.
I would expect any manufacturers fall arrest harness to have the same
liability notice. Treat it like a seatbelt - if it is "used" it can (and is
designed) to stretch. That is why is shouldn't be reused.
Also, the fall arrest lanyard should be attached to your back. That way if
you fall, your body will bend the way it should when you stop. (Legs and
arms to your front). If you attach the lanyard to your chest, you might
hurt yourself when your arms and legs get bent backwards as you come to a
stop.
