Antenna warning

I ran across this, and as at least two of my followers are hams, thought it would be worth passing along.

WARNING Perform as many functions as possible on the ground. Installing antennas on windy days can be strong forces. Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments. Antennas Direct Inc. is not injury resulting from antenna installations.

WARNING Antennas improperly installed on an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all and properly sealed against leaks. Antennas Direct Inc. will not accept liability for any damage cause by an unknown variable applications.

WARNING Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant or both. Do not throw antenna at spouse.

Well! Good thing we know how to safely put up antennas now!

It may possibly be fixed now. With LJ today, I'm never sure...

That third warning really, really needs an Oxford comma.

Safety issues especially involving antennas are included in every amateur radio exam and are frequent topics for discussion at ARES meetings, including the horror vid where the TV truck engineer raises his dish into high voltage lines and fries hisself.
