The device is used a footwear and this lowers the risk of slipping from the pole, and due to the grip it gets the same machine can be utilized for climbing trees as well.

    This footwear is not useful for everyone and not 100% safe… govt should focus on something more resembling like a ladder instead of this risky stunt..
