What has been your experience with the Lifehook®?

“There are a lot of young men that made it in this business as linemen and even more that didn’t that owe your products a depth of gratitude because it kept them from being injured (possibly seriously) during their training.” – Chuck Herron

"The Lifehook gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to concentrate on my gaffing skills. Knowing that if I cut-out, the Lifehook would prevent me from falling, allowed me to improve my skills in pole climbing." – David Spriggs

How many people has your Lifehook® helped protect from a fall?

"Two students have fallen so far this year out of the six that we have trained" – Steve Dyche

"I have seen about seven students have the opportunity to use the fall protection system while learning to climb." – Marion Moore

"About 30 percent of the beginning apprentices engage the system during their climbing instruction." – Nettie Dokes

Did those who used the Lifehook® learn faster? Do you notice a difference in those who use the Lifehook® compared to those who do not?

"Yes, they learned faster if the instructor demonstrated the action of the device and helped them to gain the confidence that, while learning the proper (climbing) technique, they are safe from serious injury." – Steve Dyche

"Yes, those that use it quickly acclimate to the heights. Overall, they learn the basic skills about 20 percent faster." – Nettie Dokes

How big of a factor does the fear of falling play in the success of learning to climb?

"It's a very large factor. But the device allows the climber to concentrate on technique without becoming overly involved in the fear of falling. Climbing is not a natural act for any new climber. Overcoming the fear of falling is a big factor in their success or failure in learning to do so safely." – Steve Dyche

"It depends on each student. For some, not falling is the only thing. For others it is not a big deal. However, approximately 75 percent of the students are fearful of falling." – Marion Moore

It has been years, how have Lifehook® systems worked out for your training?

“Working flawlessly, performing every bit as good as you said they would.” – John Hanchu

"Since the installation and utilization of the Lifehook, I can proudly say we have not had one injury because of a fall during the apprentice climbing schools." – Chuck Herron
