    Well filmed as usual reg. It's nice to see a theoretical solution, to a difficult problem being turned into a practical solution. Takes balls and brains, great inovative rigging

    Slip and swing into a peg- damaged spine, bust a few ribs or just a simple impalement? Why take the chance?
  12. Pete Mctree
    I retain pegs as occasional tie in points, but only if required. They pose a real danger if you were to slip- there are enough dangers in this game without introducing more. Loose em

    and pass something he is not happy with? Or is that the use of these magical special powers? The splice could be commented on- I would. The issue is that without disecting the splice can you tell if it has been done to the manufacturers specs? So why demand that an inspector puts himself in a position of liability without caveats? Pass the rope and note that it is self spliced- or non factory, hence performance uknown- I do. If splicers carried insurance then others would be more confidant in there product.

    So a piece of equipment should not be certified suitable for use? Tell that to your lawyer when an item fails and an employe is killed or injured. The LOLER inspector would be dragged through the courts if he had not noted his findings, and conveyed there recomendations. What do you mean by "special powers" ?

    Are you talking about the lower "d" attachment points? I use them in preferance to the traditional D's. I find the work position much more comfortable

    Kirklees council have one. Unfortunatley those working from it are not arborists and the devastation and destruction has to be seen to be believed. It has caused much anger, and the council department involved were even rude enough to not return my calls, as promised after i complained. Which i did on 3 ocasions
