I would love to do this job or changing out light bulbs on those towers!!!💯👍 I was a tree climber/ trimmer back in my 20s and loved to repel from the trees but that setup was a tad different than this. Still loved the heights and the view!
I thought about the light bulb changing too, but I thought myself out of it. Another thought; There are many videos here on youtube of cranes falling and breaking when people over load, or swing, or lower the boom under load, and/or a multitude of other slip ups. If memory serves, all I saw were in other countries, but I am sure a few have happened here in the USA. In one, a man got killed, but details couldn't be seen. He was standing at the top of a scaffold, and the next second part of the crane fell on him and removed the place he was standing and him. It was so fast, the poor man just disappeared along with his platform. I don't think the producers were aware of it. I saw that this morning, and it is still tough to think about, now.
@@wmden1 i commented on that exact video clip. That was an instant death for sure, whomever that was only felt the draft, no safety gear could've saved him.
Interesting device, but I'd want to do several training drops, starting from a modest height (10' or so), rather than practice for the first time in a real emergency. Too many memory items to go wrong under serious stress, unless they've been made habits.
And yet they also have a back up line for safety reasons?, if it is so safe then why would you not show it being used as it would be in an emergency without any green back up line with the visible rope grab on there?.......na I think not!.
Dependent on the country, the vast majority of Health and Safety Regulations prevent single line use during training. There must be a safety line as a back up. A real life emergency obviously that doesn't count.
