No but you could fall down and get so tangled up the rescue would be difficult. I have climbed caged ladders that had a pipe up the center of the ladder with small ratchet notches in it. The arrester device was a pipe looking thing that would slide up the safety pipe/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" <wi...@3-db.net> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 12:39 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Grain leg safety cage (was Re: Tower accident)
