Why should you wear approved fall arrest equipment if you are working on an antenna tower?

The primary function of an approved fall arrest system is to safely catch a climber and minimize the physical deceleration forces exerted on the body during a fall. By distributing the shock across a full-body harness, it limits catastrophic injuries and prevents you from hitting the ground. Distractors in this question focus on tools and tower stability. Fall arrest gear is strictly for personal life safety; it does not structurally support or stabilize the tower in any way. Furthermore, while securing tools with separate tool lanyards or pouches is important to protect ground workers, your fall arrest equipment is entirely dedicated to keeping your body safe, not managing your equipment.
