Crikey.

not a nice way to go......


An absailing rope and a point to hook it onto, might be handy
for
the
future or even just a rope. At least it would give them a chance
of
descending relatively safely.

A rope might burn through. I think I'd prefer a parachute if the
tower
were high enough.

From my parachuting days, I seem to remember that the minimum
height
for a chute to open is about 500ft and that's assuming that the
chute
opens perfectly, which is not always the case.

You need a rope and an air brake, just attach to harness and jump,
the
rope should survive the few tens of seconds needed.

Its still a bit risky if its windy, then you need the rope to be
attached to the ground.

Would a bungi rope be practical (obviously a slightly advanged one,
in
that it's slowly breaks the fall) If you know the hieght would it be
that difficult to design such a thing ?


We obviously need the HSE to step in and regulate these highly
dangerous
structures.


yes we need to make sure that they kill less people than nuclear has,

No, because neither of them kill enough to matter.

If yuo're putting safety measures in for nuclear then
you must also put safety measureing in for turbiuns

Nope.

Yep.


the same goes for coal and gas.

Not even possible with coal fired power.

They have bene numorous safety improvemnts to pits over the last 100 years.
Year ago we used to send kids down the pits.


Thta's teh only way to properly price energy in
order to compare the cost and safety aspects.

That has never been what its about.

That's the problem isn't it.


so every single turbin would need to have safety
equipment installed so people don't get killed by them,

No. What matters is that hardly anyone ends up dead.

Hardley anyone isn't good enough.

Corse it is. It will never be possible to see no one dead.

I agree but that's NO excuse not to make things safer is it ?


I don;t think ANYONE has been killed because
of storing old fuel cells from nuclear reactors.

Yes, but even you should have noticed
that few did end up dead in Chernobyl.

31 died.

a few in various coal mines too, and some due to wind turbins.



and that cost should be added to the cost production
just like any other system for generating power.

It isn't with coal fired power generation.

It is.

Wrong, as always.

right as always. When the generating companies pay more for the coal they put their prices up.
