 pokesphIt Is Almost FastPremium join:2001-06-25 Sacramento, CA kudos:1 | been there one that As part of my job as a radio tech, we had to climb towers (up to ~300') we never had any major issues, and we always used the safety gear.
worst thing that ever happened, one co-worker slipped and got to hang by his safety line for a bit.. and well we all being tough cool guys, he made a big joke out of it by acting like some circus monkey.. (it WAS funny)
but none of us were ever worried as the safety gear does indeed do its job. Heck, for some stuff you had no choice but to use your line to hold you up as you worked.
Anyway, If these people are falling off these towers, they have to NOT be following the safety protocols or were being idiots and showing off, etc.
My 2cents worth anyway. -- Webmaster - Steve - - - - - - - - - - - - »www.1-gb.net »www.ppnstudio.com |
