The easily adjustable BuckSqueeze is a wood pole fall protection system that protects line personnel from the ground to the elevated work position and back to the ground. User "hitchhikes: up and down the pole using the cross over strap and the paddle. If the user starts to fall, the strap grips the pole, securing the user and preventing a fall. While climbing over obstruction, the user can secure a retractable lanyard (shown below), or a second positioning strap, prior to removing the BuckSqueeze.
