Hurricane season is on and there are some threats below the horizon perhaps moving our way. Lest the lessons of the past be forgotten or ignored, let's bring this back up to the top. Way too many people have been killed and badly injured in squalls, and in recent years too. This despite all the major depowering capablity that may or may not do you some good in wind extremes. It mattered little to quite a few injured parties.

A segment on MSNBC about the lofting:



There is a good deal more about this lofting at the start of this thread.

Learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it. These squall accidents have already be repeated way too often. Volunteers for more?
