 CS>> Especially on the ones bolted to the ship that go straight
 CS>> up.  Yes.

bk>>  We have a lot of ladders bolted to things going straight up.
bk>>  However, the rungs are always a stronger hold than the sides.

 CS> Correct.  Also, dont move your feet unless both hands have
 CS> a good grip.  Common

 And move one limb at a time. Don't move feet and hands at the
 same time.

bk>>  If you had fallen head first, 200 feet, to a steel deck, I doubt
bk>>  we would be discussing it now.

 CS> Oh I wouldnt have fallen to the deck.  There's a safety
 CS> line that catches you at no more than 5 ft, depending on
 CS> the type of rigging harness.  It's enough to
 CS> scare you but not hurt you.  Correction, those with male
 CS> anatomy may disagree a
 CS> bit ;-)

 I'll do without the fall if you please.

bk>>>  And sane is???

 CS>> Me >.

bk>>  Ok, just checking.

 CS> Hehehe


 CS>> I am told one is far more likely to get hurt on a 10ft ladder than
 CS>> anything else.  It's because it doesnt feel that high so
 CS>> people get careless.

bk>>  I find that believable.

 CS> Happens all the time though I've never had any of my folks
 CS> get hurt that way. More lucky probably than anything else
 CS> on that one.

 All too often, that's the case.
