      You have to keep in mind that there are darn near invisible guy wires on the way down that would be disastrous if you hit them, and almost as bad if you got your parachute caught up in them.

    Three thoughts:
    I don’t see that fear-wise, it makes a whole lot of difference whether it’s 2000’ or 200’; but the physical exhaustion of 2000’ would take a toll that doesn’t necessarily come through in a video, leaving limbs that much less coordinated as the climb up, and then down, proceeds.
    The coordinated movement of harness and carabiners with hands makes sense, but I’d be nervous (especially when going through the cloudy section) about a boot slipping as I climb to a new step.
    Which brings me to the third point: I can see there’s good redundancy in how the safety harness is attached on both sides, minimizing risk of sideways slippage, but I’d be interested to see how one recovers after any sort of problem where one is left dangling from one of those straps. I’m certain it can be done, just curious about how precarious the recovery process is.

    • @jamese9283
      @jamese9283 10 місяців тому +3

      Recovery is usually almost instant after the rare slip, as gravity and your tether pull you smartly against the pole, and instinct is to bear-hug it.

      used to work in a building that had aircraft warning lights, high voltage strobes (like the one in this video) and low intensity red lights like you see on top of tall buildings. changing the type of light in the fixture was not as easy as just switching the bulb, the building would've been required to jump through regulatory hoops with the aviation authority, pay fees, have inspections, etc. it was cheaper and easier to just keep using regular old incandescent bulbs and pay someone to go change them.

      Two things. First, they build it in sections and raise the sections using a crane like the cranes you see building tall sky scrappers. And people hanging by safety gear bolt the sections together. Second, I beg to differ on that bravest people comment. While their job does require a huge set of balls, I personally think the individuals in the military are the bravest.

So while it definitely takes some bravery to accept the risk that it’s possible, the guy who willingly signed up for this job where if he slips the carabiners holding him could very easily just not do their job, a much more likely scenario than a war, is more brave in my eyes.

An you remember, no you left the light switch On, so you would know it's working wien you screw the new bulb in, an see it light up. Now you got to climb back down, turn the light switch off.

      Not super unlikely actually - with something like this, he's being super careful, doing everything according to procedure, using the system of safety straps, and so on. Changing lights in his house doesn't seem dangerous by comparison, a mundane daily activity. Won't really think much about safety - that's when people get hurt. People don't get hurt doing "interesting" things like this unless they are grossly incompetent, especially if it's their job with workplace safety such a big deal and all. It's always doing the most mundane stuff you'd never think of - because they didn't think of it as risky.

    I have climbed tower cranes in Dallas. Those things never quit operating during the workday. You can’t tell from the ground but they sway back-and-forth quite a bit. When they would lift a load it would pull the crane one way, and then when they released a load it would sway back and start wobbling. It can be a little scary …My old boss forced a 18 year old kid to go up the tower crane. He got about 40 feet in the air and totally froze. He would not say a word all, he would do is sit there and stare with a very tight grip on the rail. We had to get the fire department to get him down. From that day forward the company would not force anyone to climb heights.

      The ends are thicker than the handhold poles themselves, so even if they go on loose, if someone falls, theyll pull in the direction the person is falling, so they wouldnt slip off the end but instead be caught by the rim of the cap

    The navy put a lanyard brake system on all radar and flag mast on us navy vessels. It consist of a narrow pole (2 inch diameter) the entire lenght of the mast with teeth along the front edge going upward (think of a car hoist mishap prevention system). Whenever you climb upwards, you push this brake up along this pole as well it is attached to a lanyard, thst is attached to your harness. In the event that you slip off a ladder step/peg, the braking system will take your weight preventing one from falling to death.. This hook only on peg contraption is a deathwish in the making..

      You’re only half right. Scaffold hooks are industry standard fall arrest. You use them in pairs so you’re always attached. However they’re designed to be a closed loop, using them on open pegs instead of their being an installed wire track is a death wish.

      This is what I was thinking. Sure, you always have one on and for a brief moment you're double-connected, but these COULD bounce right off the side when you uncontrollably fall. This looks like it gives you a false sense of security when in reality there's a good chance your safety line will come undone.
