[TowerTalk] Tower safety gear, Belts/Harnesses and death

[Tony King - W4ZT]

With all the discussion about the harnesses that hang you from your back it 
is a good idea for all of us to be aware of suspension trauma death. See 
the link below. You don't want to slip, fall and hang from your back 
without being physically capable of freeing yourself without delay or have 
immediate help available:

(I climb with a belt AND a climber's harness... I'm ALWAYS hooked up...
