Suspension Trauma

Suspension trauma can occur to anyone who is forced to remain upright, as when you are in a body harness for a long time. The blood in your body pools in your legs and your heart cannot exert enough force to pump the blood back up. Eventually you faint. If you fall over, the blood can flow back to your heart; if not, there may be severe consequences.
