No, but I understand them to be a game changer, a revelation, the most significant technological development in arbwork since the invention of the ladder.

They are of course brilliant, I've heard you say so over and over.

 

But let's keep in mind... there are people out there who seem to have made it their life's mission to get injured, either unwittingly or less so, and I'm not convinced comms would help that sort of person. 

 

Not casting any assumptions about the episode in the OP you understand, I'm speaking in vague terms.

Don’t just take my word for it. Try them for a relatively tiny sum of money. 
 

I wouldn’t claim that they cure common colds and make your wife’s breasts 20% perkier but they really are everything I proselytise. You can so easily see something about to happen 50m away and stop it.

“Your bar tip’s through and there’s a brick ten inches from it.”

“The pull rope is about five feet from you in that mess.”

”Look left.”

”I’m behind you, woody paul. Don’t swing that hedgecutter round.”

There’s nothing boring about safety.

Shouting “fooks sake, get out of the bloody way you complete spanner’ is comms also.

I used to work with a bloke who could do that fingers in the mouth whistle, you could hear that through any chipper/chainsaw.

I am because they do. I’ve loads of times told people to slow down, unwrap the rope from their hand, look up etc. Untold crises averted.  
 

Whether helping them is a good move is another thing. I’m holistically in favour of the stupid perishing but it can slow down a day when you have a big job on.
