[CQ-Contest] Tower safety

[Wayne Kline]

The event TEAR is there for your protecting. Just as a fall arrest lanyard. It’s a shock deterent.  Your car if any airbag is deployed you have to replace ALL the
Safety belts  !  I remember see a NTSB video years ago when full body harness were being mandated.  The human test dummy   was dropped as if you sliped off a cross rung  and he did not have a fall arrest lanyard  but a 5 ft positioning   lanyard attached to the dorsal  D ring.
It was determined just the shock when reaching the end would dis located sholders and also the possibility if hip pelvic    damage, plus internal injuriy.
The noted the good possibility of other trauma from  striking the vertical structure in the fall process.

As my mentor taught me nay many yeas ago

There are old Climbers

  There are BOLD Climbers

   But there are NO old bold Climbers

I did pretty serious tower work for more than 20 years and quit at age 44.
By the time I had got suited up in that equipment in the K1IR video it
would have been too dark to get any work done. And what's this about "If
you fall, (the manufacturer says) to throw away the climbing apparatus"?
And what? Buy another climbing apparatus from us?
