The static test differentiates between load bearing attachment points and positioning attachment points with different load requirements for each. Static Test Criteria — The static test tests the attachment points on the harness at more than 10 times the weight of a rescuer. The test is conducted in the normal head and head down position. Drop Test Criteria — The drop test tests the durability of the load-bearing attachment points of an escape belt. A test torso weighing 300 lbs is dropped two times in the upright and head down position and cannot hit the ground during any of the test drops.
