Back in the 80s and the 90s I free-climbed many times too. One day after
reaching the top at 165 feet I decided to lean back from the tower to begin
my work. Only problem was I hadn't put the belt around the tower. My
mind did a self check and right before I let go, I didn't. I quickly put my
belt around the tower and actually shook for a while, thinking how close I
had become to being a silent key.
Wearing a seat belt has been rather useless over the years too. I've
never been in an accident where I needed it. But, you only need to use it one
time to save your life.
Belt up guys!

I have been climbing, free climbing, for 40 years. I never kept track; I
probably have easily made at least 1000 climbs or more as a ham operator in
that period.
