Hi there
So I took the time to read my safety instructions on the new Viper SD XXX Climber I picked up, it states not to use on trees with loose or slippery bark, or on trees coated in ice, all logical statements. It then proceeded to say not to use in the rain... or to use hang-ons in the rain either. I've used hang-ons in the rain for years, but with this being my first climber thought I should ask your opinion on use.
Is this a liability clearing statement rather than an official policy? Surely a climber must be ok to use in the rain / after the rain, otherwise thee'll be very very few days I can actually use this thing. Opinions please
