Re: Pole climbing accident

Might not believe it, but i started in 79, back then everyone climbed, I climbed every day for probably 12 years and never once cut out, To this day i have never fallen from a pole, i haven't climbed in 5 years. I'm sure i haven't spent the amount of time on hooks as most of you lineman, but back then with T.C.I. we ran extensions ourselves worked outages off hooks and i even used them doing installs, only used ladder at house ( u were called a ladder lineman) if u put a ladder on a pole. Like being called a punk,lol. Worst accident involving hooks was climbing over a barb wire fence, my left hook stuck in my body belt right at the loop, dropped like a brick!!
