..... !!!! Then you've missed the entire POINT!!!
I get the joke
but to clarify, since I never mentioned it:
The 12 guage Line Launcher is not intended for "in-tree" use. It's purely meant for "standing on firm ground" use, an only for gaining access to things found outside the scope of hand-throwing. To be used when nothing else works.
The business (Arbor Harpoon, Inc) I formed around the patent on the 'Arborist short-rod line delivery system, Arbor Harpoon', has a company policy that all units sold must have a Cautionary Sheet which states that Arbor Harpoon, Inc is not to be held liable due to operator error.
"Given the dynamic nature of trees in general, and varying user experience, use of the Arbor Harpoon while not standing on firm ground constitues gross mis-use of the product, and falls into the catagory of "operator error." "
This sheet also includes mention of things such as not shooting it at people, windows, birds or enraged neighbors who are throwing rocks at you. And also that no animals were harmed in the making or testing of this device.
My lawyers handle the difficult things, like cases involving the wife of an arborist using one against her husband while in heated dispute. This also covers markets and banks being held up by someone who is grossly mis-using the Arborist Harpoon.
