I always do the same or something equivalent (safety rope). Can't say I ever slipped yet where it saved my life but it is good insurance. In fact, I am probably more sure-footed by having it and being less nervous.
Last steel roof I did, I tied the rope to my little Chevy Tracker that was parked in front. It would of been pretty funny if my wife had hopped into it and taken off (but she knew better).
Comments on other comments here? I have no way of knowing who "most" is and who has done what for their lives. I worked as a diesel/tractor mechanic and in house construction, "for a living", for 40 years. I still do both on a daily basis but not as a "living" anymore.
