yes but for just a pole for a bit of fun its not worth the risk to me as a professional pilot.
You as a private pilot it maybe acceptable. Your choice. you aren't going to be barred from a heap of jobs because you can't tick the zero accidents box.
If its just a fun days pole of a new type, you won't get me taking it off or landing it with just a vanilla PPL sitting next to me. If it was an instructor I more than likely would.
When I was younger and less experience I probably would have done but not now.
