You will need to make sure that your equipment has a very good and reliable safety system and that you know how to use it and are comfortable with it. Practice using your safety system as much as you can. Also, make sure to study the safety systems guidelines provided by the manufacturer. If money is not an issue, try to purchase the best safety system available of the market.
