Google for "falling gin pole"

I saw some interesting youtube videos with failed tower raisings. :-) I
wouldn't take failures as a reason not to use a gin pole though, just to be
careful using a gin pole. Just like driving, even though there are many
wrecks I still drive a car, I just make extra effort to be careful but
realize an accident can still happen.
