I see the convenience. They make climbing a 100' tower sooo much easier. No guys to hook and unhook to get around and no continuous hook and unhook going up and down. More time to work "up there" before reaching the time to come down as without the safety line the hook and unhook uses a lot of energy going up and down. 100 foot 25G and 45G really do benefit from having one. Even 50 or 60 feet. Were I younger and still making a good wage, I'd have one on my 100' 45G

Not quite the same as Rohn 25 - 55 style towers boys.

Anyway, the point was not that their a bad investment, the point was that
this is a ham tower reflector, not a professional tower riggers reflector
(last I checked anyway).  And in our universe, it is not only rare but
exceptionally rare, to see a safety line running the length of a tower.
