I subscribe to towerpro on yahoo groups. There is seldom a week or two that
goes by that a professional tower climber doesn't get killed in a tower
accident. These guys are trained and certified and they still
die....sometimes
because of equipment failure, but sometimes through carelessness.
If these pros are not invincible, neither are we hams. It's been eighteen
months since I went up a tower and in a few weeks I will be spending lots of
time up there. The New Mexico ham's death is a wakeup call for me. I
definitely will be tied to the tower at all times. Stay safe!
