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?
