I can understand your trepidation if you think your life is at stake. However, I need to point out that the use of a climbing harness when going aloft is the safest and(excuse the expression) most idiot proof method. While aloft there is no way to fall unless the dedicated climbing line breaks(and that is why you take a safety line with you). You cannot fall out of the harness even if you have a heart attack or knock yourself unconscious. Even in an upside down position(which would be near impossible to achieve) you cannot fall out.
