I think the injury claim is BS. I've worked in plenty of thicknet installations; I've never so much as heard a rumor of that ever happening. Further, ask any ham radio operator if he/she has ever heard of RG8 cable busting through a ceiling.
Yeah, in fact in terms of pure weight I feel like that was more of a problem with star topologies like 10BaseT. Because 10Base5 used vampire taps you would typically only have a single run in the ceiling. Whereas with 10BaseT you could have bundles of several dozen cables in the ceiling coming from a hub (which would eventually fan out to various offices). Devin
