I know nothing about these "large" gin poles other than it makes sense that
they are the only way to get heavy stuff up on the tower. Everyone is
saying why would you attach to them like they are some flimsy thinwall
steel pipe but these things are basically like another extension of the
tower
That was my first questionwhy were they attached to the gin pole?
Trying to save some climbing time as they were raising it? I've erected
several towers with Gin poles (the small clamp on variety), both guyed and
self support, but It never once occurred to me to attach to one. Not that I
could
When I was building tall towers that was the only way to do it. My bet is
they were not attached to it though. Those don't collapse because the wind
blows. They obviously must have exceeded the load limits. Maybe they didn't
add in the additional load the wind adds. I'll bet the investigation will
They are huge and scary looking..World's Toughest Jobs show had episode on
tall tower construction with these gin poles...impressive but I will not
work on them...my Superman days are long gone

They were "attached to the gin pole, when it collapsed and they fell". Who
