[TowerTalk] tower safety

[Mike Fatchett]

I had a similar experience but thanks to steel toed boots I was not injured.  The cause of my mishap was with a come-along as well.  Be careful.

Ed, Sorry to hear about what happened! I sincerely hope that you will
recover from this without any loss of functions/etc. This hopefully will
serve to deter others from doing work at heights when there is no-one to
assist in an emergency such as this. Dangerous things can happen like this
in the blink of an eye, and without a ground crew, as you found out, or
proper safety precautions, you are in a serious jam. 
All the best and hope you and all have a good Christmas.
