Title: Discovered how quick you can use slx clamps!
Post by: Bonzer on January 20, 2009, 12:02:13 pm
I was cleaning windows above a conservatory roof yesterday when there was a huge flash of lightening not far from me and then an enormous clap of thunder. Did a quick mental risk assessement (holding carbon fibre pole etc) and have never collapsed my slx so quick.

Been there myself, holding a Super-Lite mk1 it had an insulated base section, but as it was pouring down with rain I knew it would make no difference. I watched the lightning get closer and closer from across the horizon and chickened out about 10mins before it reached me. It was raining so hard by then that I would have given up anyway. Waited 15 mins till it passed and then carried on.

When fishing down the back of the island , we always fish through the thunder storms. Carbon fishing rods just the same ! They haven't been hit yet  although we don't hold them all night but they are there for the lighting to hit.
