This is a timely post. I went to my club yesterday to move a couple stands. I took down one of my stick ladders and moved it to another location. i put up 2 sections and while standing about 10 feet off the ground putting up the third section the foot peg i was standing on snapped off! :speechles
I had a safety harness with a linemans' type rope around the tree and connected to "D" rings on each side of my waist so i could work hands free. That kept me from falling. I did fall about 2 feet and raked my face off the steel ladder. OUCH!!!!!
I now have a nice red swoooosh on my cheek that hurts like elmo and will probably turn black and blue in another day. Think what would have happened if i hadn't had that harness on! :speechles
