cow's tail

Explanation:
http://www.whitewater-safety.com/cows-tail

The best way to link yourself to a rescue rope.
Bar tacked, elasticated tubular nylon webbing, tested to 900kg. With a welded stainless steel harness ring and a wire gate paddle ‘biner, it’s a solid link between you and a the rescue rope, and it’s also perfectly suited to rescuing your mate’s paddle when they leave it floating down the river.

Section 819

Cow’s tail

A cow’s tail is defined in the OHS Code as a short strap, lanyard or sling connected to the main attachment point of a harness. Cow’s tails are used to connect the worker’s harness to the safety line via a back-up device and to the working line via an ascender. Cow’s tails should be able to withstand any dynamic forces that may be imposed on them in case of a fall.
