[TowerTalk] Old Safety Belt

> "BTW in my upcoming DIY tower book, per my attorney's advice there is one sentence in the forward regarding the disclaimer about tower climbing being a dangerous activity. It doesn't have to be in bold on every page."

Steve, certainly not every page in an article (as that was what was discussed), but I would think each new article (or added part in a series) needs a forward addressing the safety issue to adequately protect the author, publisher and most importantly, the public.

> "What about any other advice column in newspapers, on the web, on radio and tv, etc.? They don't have disclaimers. I think we're pretty much adults here and can assume responsibility for our actions."

No doubt, but the climbing and rigging of a tower inherently has greater risk (e.g., propensity for fatality) than DIY articles on say...woodworking -- although I know of some skilled carpenters with missing "digits."
