Wow this guy had to get some serious BIG bucks for doing this at 200 feet in the air. I know regular arenas don’t have as high of a roof as a retractable roof football stadium here.
once you are past 30 feet you probably won't survive the fall unless you are awful lucky and even at 30 expect a minimum of life long serious issues if you do survive.
@@bratwurstbernd1129 That is not the problem. Most of these people are indeed tied off and if they fall it will not be far. The problem is the harness will cut off your circulation if you are hanging in it for to long. Depending on how long the person can keep pressure of the arteries in their legs. Eventually they won't be able to at all and they will fall asleep forever if there is no quick way to get them down or back on the steel. some places are extremely safe and even have inertia reels over every rigger. the reel will slowly drop them to the floor.
@@monmixer Im not sure what kinda harness you think these dudes are wearing but i can tell you from experience, its not cutting off anything except for maybe a nut if its in the wrong place.
As one who walks on I-beams... this style of beam... moves a lot more than you'd like to know. Still love being up there.... but... yeah.... this video is more intense than it looks. Hope to have balls of steel too one day!
How many people do you think would have to risk their lives to put a catwalk up there? I've been up in that roof many times and trust me, you can't just put a catwalk up there.
Hopefully the guy gets paid 400$ each foot he climbs up. That place is massive, how in the world is something like that accomplished? Looks like it's 400ft in the air
So, question: you are risking your life. At the same time, you make life safe for many. How much is your hourly pay? I'm guessing it shouldn't be less than 75-80 bucks an hour. Particularly, because you are responsible also for the good working order and maintenance of all your ropes (I'm assuming that's your own equipment, since this would be the only way you could trust it 100% because that's the only way to know how many hours of work and how rough has the life of a particular rope been, in order to retire it when it needs to be). Meaning, you need to spend lots of money in equipment.
as long as you survived right. and all you people saying he needs rope access training are probably right but I wouldn't want to jug all the way up that.
The fact your whole life depends on that tiny thin velcro stitched rope if u fall just makes me sick whatching this vid lol. Props to the guy who had balls of tungsten for this
so are you on belay? when you stepped up on first sling what were you tied off to? only belayer? im so curious. i work in trees but this is really interesting.
yes they are hanging truss from these beams. Of course the truss is about 225 feet down. Putting them about 50 feet from the ground. get out there and climb boys!
REason why I say that is the altitude...where does the chain hoist stop at? Is everything from these beams just wire ropes to another attackment point closer to the ground then chain from there? Thanks for the reply!
Fucking cool job. I moved to Australia 7 years ago from California. Since then I've been an irata tech for 5 years and I'm a L2. I wanna get on jobs like this! Looks good. I like how you told the guy to talk to you. I was thinking the same thing... Good comms! What's the name of they little device you used to push the slings through that little gap?
just looked up jobs here in canada for shits and giggles $60 000 canadian a year $45 000 american... hard pass id rather get on a lobster boat right here and make 100k
My best rigging system is stay on the ground and pay someone else to climb. Thank you guys.
Right? No amount of money is worth it to me. lol
It's suddenly worth it to some people @@TheCosmicDrama
One would think an arena of this size, scope, and prominence would already have an arrest system in place.
exactly what i was thinking
One system won't work for every situation. Also riggers want to depend on THEIR system and work not someone else's.
somebody gonna remove those safety lines also the anchor points after events
YT once again recommending me anxiety for absolutely no reason
😂😂
maybe it saved someones life by making them fear height
I think I'll stick with stagehand. You guys are a different breed!
Haha! My tought at 0:32 ...when not even before.
I mean I can handle heights but NEVER that high or HIGHER
Their built different😂
everyone has their niche. i like being a deckhand for a show and in the air for ins and outs.
I didn't search for this, but I really enjoyed watching this.
you sir are absolutely crazy but I admire the hell out of you for doing this I would get myself killed if i attempted what you did here
I lived in Arlington when they built the place. Those ironworkers are nuts
You have balls that I will never have!!!! Love the video!!!👍👍👍👍

There is not enough money on this planet to get me up there so kudos to this dude.
@@monmixer thats true but imagine the time youre in free Fall. Fuck

What the he'll is he tied off to while up there? HUGE BALLS DUDE!
Learned some good tricks in this. Trying to be like you dawg. We might’ve worked together if you travel and rig
You have balls of steel to do things like that😨
This how you become a cowboy if you didn’t do good in practice
You know you are afraid of heights when you get nervous watching a video 😂
What's wrong with putting a catwalk up on that.... why should people have to risk their lives just for a couple hours of entertainment????
How many people do you think would have to risk their lives to put a catwalk up there? I've been up in that roof many times and trust me, you can't just put a catwalk up there.
It's not a risk hes tied off at all times
@@alexcurry23they traded a catwalk for a retractable roof
_”We forgot to turn on the GoPro, damnit!”_
So when you're installing these systems are you attached to rock climbing ropes that stretch just in case you fall?
Yeah my palms are sweaty watching this.
Hopefully the guy gets paid 400$ each foot he climbs up. That place is massive, how in the world is something like that accomplished? Looks like it's 400ft in the air

taking on massive responsibility with this job. im sure it pays alright.
why does this only have 60k views while we have minors on tiktok that get millions?
Yo this deserves more views
as long as you survived right. and all you people saying he needs rope access training are probably right but I wouldn't want to jug all the way up that.
Well mate, thats what it is, and thats what we do, but trust me, we would not do that for some spare change
The fact your whole life depends on that tiny thin velcro stitched rope if u fall just makes me sick whatching this vid lol. Props to the guy who had balls of tungsten for this
Cool video, thank you for posting.
so are you on belay? when you stepped up on first sling what were you tied off to? only belayer?
im so curious. i work in trees but this is really interesting.
I couldn’t imagine being that construction worker falling from the top of the roof.. nope nope nope!!!!!!
I don't understand why the fall protection is not installed when the stadium was built
Like a permanent install 🤔
Gary Nolan lots of engineers tend to huff glue
No point, it would need regular checks anyway. These things get installed regularly depending on need ad hoc.
All I can picture is realizing I forgot the right tool as soon as I got all the way to the top.
Given the size of that place, you would think a good team played there.
Just wondering why you didn't aid climb out instead of leading?
I couldn’t imagine having to build this stadium
Chase Jerry Jones has plenty of money. He could afford just about anything
Looks like a fun day at the office to me....
This is POV and I was scared a** s*** watching this video had my heart racing 😅
I would love to watch this in Apple Vision Pro
Balls of Steel my friend!
working in stage production for many years now yeah im stay on the ground lol
If someone takes a fall, does the cable they're on and anchor they're on get retired?
Yeah I think so, or it at least has to get approved again by a certified company.
Yes the will be replaced as the shock load can weaken the rope.
That made my stomach turn knots
Job look fun xd how much they pay?
Dude that an awsome opportunity
You have balls of steel to do that 😨
This is insanity
Not the job for me you're a brave brave soul
He got to work at one of the 7 wonders of the world. What a lucky guy....😊😊😊😊😊😊
But this doesn't look like the Lincoln Financial Field.
@@KingHayabusa384 I'd never consider going to look at trash!!!
You got some balls man
I remember it bubba it was intense some of the ones we had to do
Why wouldn't they weld permanent d rings on the trusses so they dont have to fish tie offs through the steel beams
Then they would have to be load tested every few years if not every year.
What is that youre actually doing? How much do you get paid? I'd love to climb around that place and get paid to do so
I'm assuming the job is to leave behind those "anchor points" or what ever their called.
One more to make a completed circuit and stay grounded.
Where do I sign up
damn how long did it take you to get used to those kind of heights?
How much experience did it take ya to be on the top settin?
I dropped it alright I'm coming back tomorrow I'm not climbing this all over again
You KNOW he gettin paid well
This stuff is so much fun
what's the rescue plan?
On belay with 600 feet of dual lines in ID'L and asap
@@johncaudill3774 Why did you choose the ID L vs the ID S?
I wanna do that, I climb billboards for a living but much rather do ur job sir
And why are you up there?
I know this is an old video but I'm wondering what that flat jig is that you used to push and then hook your strap through the steel at 3:46.
Its a nut tool, they are intended more for rock climbing
You mean to tell me they were going to fly stuff at this height?
yes they are hanging truss from these beams. Of course the truss is about 225 feet down. Putting them about 50 feet from the ground. get out there and climb boys!
REason why I say that is the altitude...where does the chain hoist stop at? Is everything from these beams just wire ropes to another attackment point closer to the ground then chain from there? Thanks for the reply!
Did you get down?
Unreal, kudos
making my fuckin toes tingle over here geez
There not working on something are they??
wooow.. look at the drop but you need nerves of steel for this job.
How much you get paid for this???
Not enough
Lady gaga jumped this building
No it was the one in Houston.
Ayyyyy!! John John!!! 🤠
Let’s give props to the mofos that built this thing
Somebody gotta do it 😂😂
4 small words. Hell to the no.
This gives me the heebeegeebees
are you not tied off?
Fucking cool job. I moved to Australia 7 years ago from California. Since then I've been an irata tech for 5 years and I'm a L2. I wanna get on jobs like this! Looks good.

it just looks like a nut too. like what trad climbers use to break stuck cams and nuts
Need at least a million a minute
I would die if I was up that high ANYWHERE
Is it just me our is anyone else getting vertigo. I don't have it or maybe i do idk but this video feels like it i have it lol.
Wow.
U sir are a fuckin badass
One word to describe this job: Nope.
Yh
Dear lord, I can barely watch this.
i wouldnt do that even for 250 an hour
Sky cowboy!
7:00 and thats why they wear a helmet
I hope this guy is paid a lot of $$$.
Me too!
So they do all that with no safety harness. What a joke
just looked up jobs here in canada for shits and giggles $60 000 canadian a year $45 000 american... hard pass id rather get on a lobster boat right here and make 100k
So whats he even doing? I've seen a few of these videos, but still, idk what they're doing
No safety no work.
Not once....not ever.
10:46
I damn near went into tachycardia watching this.
by now we should have androids doing this not humans
I think he doesn't like this job because we can all here f word many times while passing rope through the point.
Great job though
Well u should invest about 500$ in 5m grillions and get some rope access training...
Lol, over 3 thousand hours rope access...
State of the art stadium for crappy players
