I remember seeing similar items in USAF hangars and maintenance shops back in the day. I think they were non-conductive material so you could pull somebody away from a live electric circuit without endangering yourself.

Otis should not have been able to return to work with a cane.

I read this thread this morning when it only had a few responses and my curiosity was piqued.
Then, I see it active again this evening and think "oh, great, what interesting piece of equipment is this"
I'm disappointed.

Yep, a plain wooden cane. I have one from when we shut down my old base.
