I think my issue is more with the strapping than a falling man. This type of support seems to be acceptable with most people here. This is not a 3/4" run its a feeder with much more weight involved. To me this means substandard practice and materials are ok with them. The falling man was a bad example, sorry.
The runs being purpendicular and parallel... are just quality workmanship. Iv'e never lost a job because I bid this way. Much of the work I bid requires that all runs be installed this way. Its a practice I have put into every job I do.
JMHO
