Actually folks you are missing the point ... in practice the safety
equipment enables
a person to work on the tower with /*both hands*/, i.e. you can let go
of the iron and do some
2- handed work.
The safety cable enables you to slip off a spike or strut and not fall.
The 2 sided cable means
you can always be hooked to the iron, one at a time as you ascend or
descend as the case
may be.
Fine if you don't want to hook up, don't. Don't use auto seat belts or
stop smoking either. It's all
the same thing, a matter of acceptable risk. I use a safety cable and a
harness with a fall arrester,
I also use a belt and suspenders .. maybe that's how come I'm still am
here at 73 years.
