I agree, the wind can get things swinging. Just curious as to why the guy running the rack opens the elevators when u are running in the hole, and why he also latches on coming out of the hole? Those big blocks are heavy, and if the tong hand opens the elevators and spreads them quickly, the guy running the rack wont have to jerk back so hard on the bails. That is also causing some of the swing. Just curious.
@@rogermosberger6856 the way we do it on pole rigs is the guy running the rack spins them around and if u do it right they open themselves up and swing back and u can latch them on really easy. Some guys just can't get it down, and we just deal with it. As far as coming out of the hole, as long as the tubing isn't nasty scaled up crap and it's done right it's just easier for the guy laying it out to latch it on, he's right there anyway. That's just how we were taught to do it. Guys we were taught by been doing it this way since the 80s
If he takes a Head Hit and their is a Insurance claim filed the man that owns this job and rig could have bought a semi-trailer full of new hard hats with what it will end of costing!!! Dumb,Dumb Dumb,Skull repair is not Cheap or Easy!!!
That's why he's running it in, in the first half, further away... Only a retard would get hit in the head with something doing this. I get accidents happen, but there is literally nothing that is gonna hit his head here, besides something where a hard hat isn't gonna help him anyway! Too many "safety" guys in this business, ones that have no idea about anything we do out here
Also u can't see him when he's running the tongs, but I made him wear the spare to run tongs coming out of the hole, now he could get hit with something there
@@thisaintthetexasoilfield7507ur wrong! I did this for approx 45 years. I have seen nuts, bolts, bearings and lots of other crap rain down from crown and from the blocks. You are naive!
@@rogermosberger6856 not naive, just not a retard like all the guys that didn't know how to tighten shit up and check it. 20 years in still have all my fingers and toes. How many of u old guys can say that? Not too fuckin many. A guy doesn't wear a hard hat for 30 minutes... The world is gonna end. He's in the best spot for not wearing it out of anyone out here, tubing rack is 7 to 8 feet away from the well head. And nuts or bolts or whatever has a better chance of falling in the guy running tongs hence why he was told to wear a spare hard hat when he was running them. It wasn't a very good one with broken straps but he wore it. Anyways he's got his giant j€w fro to stop anything coming down on his head
Just so all u "safety" guys on here know, cowboy got himself a nice shiny new hard hat, so he's not in any danger of a nut or bolt coming down on the top of his j€w fro anymore, just on the rest of his body....
