"I took my first real manbasket ride in strong winds about 200 feet up and felt completely safe. There was ample room for the two of us and our tools and the tie offs were located so we could use them and still reach our work. Thanks to the stable manbasket, what could have been a scary experience became a good one. We now have several manbaskets and have never heard a complaint."
