A safety harness (10) to be worn by a person which comprises a strap portion (20, 70, 80) for extending over a portion of the person's body to retain the person within the safety harness (10) is described. The strap portion (20, 70, 80) has a section which is fabricated from a flexible material having an elastic extension in the range of approximately 3 % to approximately 15 % under a tensile load of approximately 10 pounds. The material of the strap portion (20, 70, 80) which also has a tensile strength of at least approximately 5,000 pounds. The strap portion (20, 70, 80) comprises a weave of at least two materials. One of which is a non-elastic, high tensile strength material and the other is an elastic material.
