Harness

A harness is a device worn by a person or animal to secure and distribute force evenly across their body, often used for safety, support, or control. Commonly seen in activities like climbing, horseback riding, or working at heights, it consists of straps and buckles that contour to the body, preventing falls or providing stability. In technology or business, "harness" can also mean a system that manages or directs resources effectively, but in physical safety, it’s primarily designed to keep individuals secure in potentially hazardous environments.
