Default A rope saves your back when shoveling snow?

My wife sent me this video link..

EASIEST, SAFEST WAY TO SHOVEL ANYTHING.
No bending your back. No aching back. No chiropractor.
This is how I shovel, when I need to. "

We have these back-support bands that we use when shoveling snow..
They kinda work, but not that well.. Plus discomfort gets worse the longer it's on..

I had to shovel the other morning, and gave the rope idea a shot..
My wife used it first on the deck and she liked it..
I was able to clean off the walkways & driveway a little faster and didn't have any back pain!
It took an effort to remember, not to bend over..
Seems like something that people with back problems, might want to try..
