Lifelines
I have heard several arguements for and against wire. The current thinking for offshore use as published by the ORC favors uncoated wire. The logic behind wire is that it is more able to withstand and absorb impact without inflicting injury. Other issues is that tubing can lose a lot of strength when welded or accidentally bent.
That said,there seems to be a new phenomina of people rigging solid rails. I don''t get it. Solid rails has never appealed to me both for the reasons above plus the added weight of solid rails.
