[QUOTE="treeman82, post: 110957, member: 232"] I think Spencer came up with a fairly easy way to be "tied in" to a palm tree. I know that spikes on a pruning job isn't exactly the right thing to do. However I am pretty sure it is allowed in an aerial rescue. I have no experience with palms, but I think if I was on the ground and saw that happening, I would have called 911, then strapped on a cheap saddle and some spikes with a good hand saw and hauled ass up there to cut those fronds off the guy. Going straight up a pole on spikes really isn't a horribly difficult skill to master. [/QUOTE]
