tower talkers,
i was at the base of my very modest tower and a fellow was up at the
top doing antenna type things. he was about to insert a 3 1/2" 3/8"
dia bolt through a boom/bracket thingie and it (the bolt) got away from him.
it
missed my bald, unprotected pate by about 2" and it hit the patio
pavement with a ... well, *impressive*... blow. the chip in the
pavement is more scalp/skull/brain(?) than i can afford to lose!
i wear head protection now whenever i'm working beneath someone.
