there are caribiners on the market that prevent you from a cross-load...DMM Belaymaster 1 and 2, Petzl Gridlock, also very easy to make a movement limiting device with any piece of rubber with 2 holes punched in it. pennies a peice i use them when rigging multiple pieces on a rigging pate to keep from crossloading when weight is being added and removed alot. it enables you to keep your hands doing what they need to do and not tending bullsht.

You could tie in with a fig 8 or bowline, so long as you use two biners, opposite and opposing, so there is no chance of both gates opening.

All the harnesses i have used (climbing) require you tie into the harness not the crab
