which is the best position for the fall arrest lanyard,  front or back. I 
use the back, but ran across this picture today  



The correct place for a  fall arrest lanyard is the D-ring between your 
shoulder blades. That will catch  you in a more benign posture.
 
        The D-ring in the front is  for when you use a safety climb cable and 
slider system with a climbing ladder  or pegs. You don't have the same fall 
exposure that you have when you're  climbing around the tower and using your 
fall arrest lanyard so a little fall  while attached to the safety climb isn't 
as potentially dangerous.
