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.
