        Jeez, it's not a hazard.  The tower was designed and manufactured to 
standards and specs. Don't forget  that the Rohn stuff is primarily for 
commercial applications where the pointy  top is a good place for a VHF/UHF whip. 
 
    The broken pointy tops were both a result of  overloading. A ham 
overloading a tower?!? Go figure.
