My dad had a hook break early in his career as a lineman while about halfway down a pole, them old crisco poles leave lots of splinters in arms and thighs if you try to hold on while falling, I think they quit counting at 500 splinters removed at the ER.

I've got a friend who does the helo job,Bud. GOOD money!
Creosote in the body sucks.
Only ever had my spikes kick out one time and that was in a Shagbark Hickory. Fell only 5'. I did spike myself bad though when my back came out while descending a tree.

OH Damn!!! Makes me cringe just thinking about it! Especially teh older poles that have been climbed alot. While they would definitely slow a fall all I can think is Cheese Grader!!!! and when your talking bear hugging the pole..its chest arms thighs and possibly face....
Your dad must have some pretty nasty scares!!!! Cringing again!!!
