tensioning speedlines?

[Steve Williams]

How can you possibly arrive at that judgement from reading a few posts on an internet forum? As well as insulting..............

 

But being called ignorant is acceptable is it?

thought this topic was dead and buried. didn't say you were ignorant steve, but that you shared my bosses ignorance on the matter. we can't all know everything so all of us are ignorant in different effects on different subjects.

we all know the rules, and are trained to follow them, but peter is right some health and safety regs do seem a bit over the top at times and unneccessary. and are there to protect the inexperienced, ill educated and misfortunate people in our industry. personally it is important to know and understand all the risks, and be trained to modern day regs but after time you learn where and how you can bend the rules. yes i might sound like a blase cowboy. i rely more on gut instinct than anything else. e.g the speedlining technique. i'd gladly show it to you, and i bet you'd change your tune
