[TowerTalk] HOHOHO... strap yourself into your crank-up tower...

[David Jordan]

Yeah,

One summer evening I stopped by to visit a ham friend who owned a 70ft 
crank-up.  He wasn't at his house so I walked around back where his tower 
was located and found him pinned to the top of the bottom section.  He hands 
were free but both feet were trapped as the top sections slipped.... He was 
unable to free himself.  No one was home.  I cranked up the sections and he 
used his arms to lower himself down. His feet were not happy for a long 
time!

I wonder how long he would have been stuck there if I had not happened by 
that evening... he was very lucky.

73,
Dave
