Fwiw I don’t think the netting would be of much use in protecting an adult.  
Good for sails, 
Maybe pekineses.
I had  custom Jacklines made by a company called cargo trade supply, and I pin 
them through the toerail with carabiners.  In the material handling trade the 
Jackline it’s called a sling, has a certified load rating and costs a fraction 
of the nautical equivalent.  This blog post has pics, including an overly 
clever attachment scheme.   Now I simply push the loop through the toerail, and 
clip a carabiner through the loop.

I have good quality tethers and pfds.    All pfds have integral harnesses.  
Not sure we could do much more.
