[TowerTalk] Crank up tower climbing safety

[Michael Watts]

There's a clear solution to the safety problem with crankup towers.
It's the use of a "nesting" fixture on which each of the 
telescoping sections rests when the telescoping sections are down.

I agree that climbing a crankup tower is dangerous unless the 
telescoping sections are PREVENTED from moving under any 
circumstance.  A nesting fixture does that.  I now climb 
my crankup tower with peace of mind knowing that none of 
the sections can move even a milimeter.

Maybe I should market this nesting fixture for all the guys with
crankups?
