Uhoh!
John, don't you know??
Bill got new (real arbo) rope!!!
Just thought I'd mention it before Bill brings his wrath and vengance to bear on you for mentioning his (prized) Lowe's rope again.
Yeah I look at some of the stuff I did and think...damn.... I was lucky.
Bill... you SHOULD be afraid of falling. If you aren't afraid of it...why don't you try it more often eh?
Aerial, I think your "evidence" and your "argument" should be held unsaid on any official level. Ya might wanna just keep it to yourself if they decide not to come against you with a lawsuit or some other such civil action.
Their simple response is likely to be that it wouldn't have fallen over if you hadn't been there; or secondly if you had known what you were doing.
The investigation that will follow, taking into account your work procedures, techniques, and gear; and then pitting it against "your peers" (a loose correlation) would be rather devestating to you.
