tried that 'grabber' & just didn't feel safe...probably 300lbs @ 6' (yep, fatass)

It has a grabber bar that squeezes you around your waist and bars that go under your thighs. Your weight makes it squeeze tighter. Then it just sets you down. I'm sure you can use their grabber bar on any lift system. I think most people that use a sling just leave it on all day.

If so, how hard is it to get the sling out from underneath you once you are sitting in your chair?
