1. In a drag harness comprising two arm loops, each of which is adapted to receive a separate arm of a human wearer, and gripping means joined to the arm loops, whereby a rescuer can drag the wearer, if the wearer is lying in a supine position, an improvement wherein the arm loops are made from a material, the material being at least one of a filamentary para-aramid synthetic fiber and meta-aramid synthetic fiber, one of the arm loops defined by a first connection at which the material of the arm loop is joined to itself, the other of the arm loops defined by a second connection at which the material of the other arm loop is joined to itself, the first and second connections being separate from each other, wherein the arm loops are defined by a first continuous length of the material that is joined to itself at the first and second connections to define a fixed length for each of the arm loops, wherein the gripping means is connected directly to the single continuous length of the material, wherein the gripping means comprises a second continuous length of material that is folded to define a third loop that is directly joined to the first continuous length of material, the first length of material has spaced ends and the spaced ends and third loop are joined to each other at a third connection, wherein the second length of material has spaced ends and the spaced ends of the second length of material and spaced ends of the first length of material are joined to each other at the third connection.
