You can get roof ladders, they hook over the ridge. Then you can tie yourself into the ladder.
Well at least that illustrates my second point that a risk assessment is essential rather than a 2 minute post on the way to workThereby allowing you to fall, pull the ladder off the roof which then lands on you as you lie on the ground.
Tying yourself to a ladder, especially a roof ladder is a ridiculous and potentially lethal idea.
Depends how heavy you are, imagine getting hit by the car as it flies over the houseI use a rope thrown right over the rigde and tied off to the car tow-bar

Nah! may need the OH to drive off to haul me back up on the roofI hope you lock the car and keep the ignition keys in your pocket!
3You fall and the fall arrest system stops you reaching ground and thus avoiding injury from an impact with something hard.
You are now suspended above the ground in the harness, your weight being carried by the straps.. How you get down ?
Pressure from the straps onto your flesh can affect blood flow around your body.
How long can you "hang around" before pressure from the harness straps causes problems ?
