A:
1. They meet the requirements of NFPA1983 2001 Edition, which, incredibly, I can't find a copy of online without spending kiliobux on a copy of the NFPA standards, but as I recall, it's some obscene level of shock load in a zilli-newton range that would leave my head at the bottom of the rocks and my chest still firmly in the harness.

2. As error proof as the operator can be error proof. Seriously, you have to work pretty hard at not putting it on right - BUT that assumes you know what "right" feels like. It's no harder to put on than an SCBA pack, actually, it's easier.
