Years ago I owned a skylight business in Atlanta and we, including myself, only wore fall protection on government jobs. Working on 10/12 and 12/12 pitch roofs we had cougar paw shoes and 2by4’s, except for metal roofs where we used fall protection. We’ve tripped many times over the lines than not when having to work around the penetrations. Also, foam rubber was a great comfort. These roofs in Florida make me envy the roofers that have very little pitch to deal with.
