Saw this yesterday
But zero details
would love to learn exactly what happen and more importantly the why
learning the cause of accidents helps those of us still around from
committing the same mistake
Immediate questions like was there other guy wires already attached
or did the climber pull the tower over attaching the first guy wire etc etc
it appears it have been rohn 25g
was it 25g ?
what was the height ?
was this the first set of guys being installed or ?
was there a ground observer/helper ?
