A rigger in Charlotte called me out on my hand signals last month

He said my 'lower slowly' signal was too fast and looked like my regular 'lower' sign, which could cause a drop. I switched to a clear, slow, open-palm wave for slow moves and keep my regular signal sharp. Has anyone else had a signal mix-up that made you change your style?

Totally get that. My old "stop" signal was just a fist, but a crane op said it looked too much like a point from far away.

Ever have a close call from a bad signal?
