Ok..let's say you had to get off tower in a hurry. You could tie your work and safety lanyards to guyed wire. So now you are sliding down it...guess you could wrap legs around it and come down slower with hopefully gloved hands. Or wrap lanyard around guyed wire several times as braking system? Yikes..still sounds spooky...as a kid we had two of those military type rope things that we would used to slide down one inch rope from tree to tree... about 30 ft down to 20..ah youth!!! How would some of you daring young bucks do it?
