right about at his butt. I measured from the floor to my butt and added two inches
because I'm shorter than him so it tells me the lifelines are 36" high.

The guy standing "there" in the photo is probably 10' from the
lifelines. That coupled with the fact the shot was taken down low
gives anyone the wrong perspective for estimating lifeline height.
