I received this in my email this morning
"Help us make climbing safer
and get a $25 gift certificate
As climbers we err on the side of caution when it comes to our ropes, pampering and retiring them when we begin to feel uneasy, yet we belay, fall, rappel, lower and jug on our harnesses believing that these workhorses will last practically forever. But will they? No one really knows.
Join Rock and Ice, ARC'TERYX and Mountain Gear in the first large-scale, used-harness testing program. Send us your worn harness of any brand and we'll pull-test it to determine how wear affects strength, with special emphasis on the belay/rappel loop and leg-loops.
Once the testing is completed and the numbers crunched, Rock and Ice will publish an article on just how safe (or unsafe) those used harnesses really are.
As a thank-you, once we receive your used harness, we will send you a $25 gift certificate to be redeemed at Mountain Gear for an ARC'TERYX on-line purchase. You can click here http://www.mountaingear.com/harness to find out the submission details.
Thanks in advance for helping us make climbing a safer sport.
Warmest regards,
The ARC'TERYX Crew"

Done. Are you sure it won't take you longer to type the whole article in than to summarize it?
