/rail. It had a spring loaded dog that would engage the notches if you fell. I thought it was a pretty good system.- Original Message - From: 3-dB Networks To: 'WISPA General List' Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 12:39 PMSubject: Re: [WISPA] Grain leg safety cage (was Re: Tower accident

Brian, Why would you want to add a safety cable to the cage? I'm on several legs with the cages and they seem great. I usually just lean back to take a break while climbing. It seems like an unnecessary bother, and something else to get in the way while climbing the ladder. Just curious

It hasn't happened yet, but I'm hoping I have the good sense to stick out an arm or leg and jam myself into the cage. Probably very painful, but no long lasting damage? Usually I have a backpack on, and have to climb the ladder more vertical than normal, just to avoid dragging on the cage.

I think I am most likely to fall when climbing up. Foot slips off wet-icy rung and I fall forward hitting jaw/face on rung which knocks me out. It makes it hard to grab something when you are out cold. The cable sure would make it safer. Brian John Valenti wrote: It hasn't happened yet,
