I realize this is not a common scenario, but we do have a potential climbing apparatus that makes suspension largely trivial, so I'm curious. I'm not claiming it'll happen often, but there were a few suspensions in 2010.

I Q&A'd this and (more or less) the 1/16" ABS sheet "climb" just for thoroughness.
