Conversely, if you're really digging something gross, then there should be Grosstastic, ....for instance.

Just sayin.

I won't take all that they hand me down
Make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started, I go to town

[Great-Kazoo]

And I don't wanna ball about like everybody else
And I don't wanna live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else

Well, you can't damage the roof. The Goat is nearly the same hook, but larger diameter, and aluminum. I see what you are seeing, but remember that the force you are applying will be downward, nearly parallel to the slope you are standing on, so it doesn't slide up over the Ridge. You are correct in that it tends to hook on the edge of the Ridge shingle. Alone that would not be safe, but the edge of the single only serves to stabilize the hook, while the weight is applied through the foot onto the decking. I'll let you try it some time.

I understand the angular forces, I would just be concerned about it slipping or shifting. Then again, I'm not the one that has to trust it.

Hey OBC, welcome back!

Looks safe to me, on that pitch anyway. A vastly different pitch (especially steeper) it may not. By the picture, it would have no angular force on the ridge. (To come over the ridge, it would have to "hop up". The force is compression - I could see it maybe indenting a shingle at the worst.

The only risk might be if it were to somehow fall over... like if you were using it to swing on the side of the house or something. If that tips, bye bye....

(this is nearly my first post in this thread, ever ) or at least my first logical one.

And.........it's not even a dupe, good for you.

Yay Foxtrot to the rescue!
