Lowering a person (device on the harness) requires special attention. In this situation, the person controlling the descent cannot see the person being lowered.
It is necessary to have a directional point situated higher than the RIG to lower a person from the harness.
The brake side of the rope must pass through a braking carabiner, the FREINO for example.
Your feet are pressed against a solid surface, and you are anchored tightly and securely positioned. The rope must pass through a directional point. Beware of sharp edges and protect your rope.
Gradually pull on the handle, while holding the brake side of the rope.
Warning: if you are not securely positioned, or if you pull the handle too quickly you risk being dragged along by the weight of the victim.
