From how I read the Ops original question, I took it as the climb is over and I'm on my ros in kill mode. At that point I tie a loop directly to the bridge from my rappel line (used as a tether) to have a backup attachment in case my primary attachment between the two fails. I do this because in my thirty three years working in heavy industry I have seen that almost all accidents have been from human induced errors and not from equipment failures so it's really protecting me from me!
In the event that direct connection is needed to save me, the fall will realistically be less than three inches and I should come out of it with nothing more than soiled shorts and a good story to post here.
