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.

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. So I'm
thinking something will catch before falling too far.

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 what your thinking is,
maybe I'm missing something.

I have seriously thought about putting a cable going up the center
of
the ladders on all the elevator legs we're on. There is already one
on
the leg that has no cage. Then we could clip on a go, with either a
belt or a light harness (unlike my big sit down elk river harness
that
is a little heavy). Anyone run these cable before? What is needed?
