dont know about animals gettin hauled up high but knew of a lineman working a capstan winch to lower the big running blocks of a 275kv tower in scotland and in his infinate wisdom he decided to take a wrap off the capstan(while on load)to make it drop faster and as any1 can guess the whole rope caame off verry fast got tangled around his left leg and hauled him up the tower upside down as the block came crashing down from the bottom arm:eek:luckly the guys ok was rescued and is still working ok tho i think he gives capstans a wide berth from what i here:D
