Default Cable guy in a tree

In article ,
says...
The commercial shows a car swerving into a guy on a ladder. The
ladder is leaning against a tree. The guy falls and drops a handful
of CATV cable. Anyone else think that you should not be using a tree
to run cable?


My parents and their neighbors both have Comcast cable hung from trees,
60-80 foot Doug Firs.

The neighbor on the other side doesn't have cable hung from a tree, but
the cable guy had to climb the tree to feed the line through the
branches.

Until fairly recently, one neighbor also had his home's electrical drop
hung off a tree.
