- I need to clamber about my steep roofs to do some work. I've fallen off my house roof four times, so I need some help with a system that will allow some mobility yet provide protection. I'm thinking

- Rock climbing is a hugely popular hobby around here. Might be around there too. You can probably buy industrial safety equipment as well, made specifically for that job, but the climbing stuff works

- I assume (mainly because you've found your way off four times) that the roof is quite steep. If that is the case, I would do one of two things: 1) Rent a manlift when you need work done on the roof.

- Mostly comfort. You're lucky you didn't fall with the rope around your torso. That'll crack ribs and then suffocate you if you don't get cut down in a hurry. I used to rock climb and I spent a couple

- The gizmo is the belay device. They can be very cheap if you don't mind holding the rope yourself, or more expensive if they lock down automatically. If I were going to be trying to do some kind of w

- 3) A belay device. Judging by the difficulty you seem to have fighting the force of gravity I would recommend an "auto-locking" belay device. The Petzl Reversino is $27. The Petzl Grigri is another
