That's not something you see everyday

That's the reason the big ones are done with a roll off, a hook lift picks too far from the cog.

The bottle video is demonstrating a bucket hitch, which is a super handy knot. Bucket handles can tear off, a bucket would have to completely collapse to escape that knot. Useless for carrying bottles of water, handy for rigging drums and buckets.

You're even worse bud.

So so close to understanding....

I was toying with building one of those, be handy as hell crushing up concrete making recon, basically free gravel because you can get concrete demo stuff very easily and free.

Clueless tree guys, where cranes go to die.

I can't believe how well and how high that works, super cool and smart way to solve a problem.

I kinda wanna learn the clove hitch like that, be a good way to mess with apprentices. "Here, I'll show you again damnit" :lol:

That's the big problem with physics, its trying to explain the rules of the physical world around us, which unfortunately is proven with a bunch of increasingly complicated math. And how it works is completely insane btw because it usually doesn't follow what you would logically think would...

It's Martin Scorsese, great movies. I enjoyed other scenes far more but it's a good movie.

Yup, there's standards for this especially for the European rating, it's basically a pretty long factor 2 fall (rope stretched above and falls 2 rope lengths, aka worst case scenario) with the expected size of a climber, done repeatedly until the rope breaks. The rope then has a number of falls...

Drop tests are performed to ensure that climbing gear can withstand shock loading and not kill you, pull tests determine the breaking strength, which is used in the working load calculation. Isn't that what you meant?

Absolutely, force=mass x acceleration =mass x velocity ^2. Double the velocity you quadruple the force, the same force is needed to break stuff as the slow pull but it's possible with far less weight. Depending on the material and how big the shock load is the force could not have enough time...

The wraptor was developed by a member here, and i buy stuff that members developed. I just can't afford one :lol:

I like using a chain stitch lashing for that kinda stuff, or a packers knot. Do a figure 8 with the bitter end around the line, cinch tight, then throw a half hitch over the bitter end tail to lock it in place, super quick and easy. You can also use a buntline hitch for the same effect, even...

Great movie

The video is gone but iron work is a different game, that high you have a very high likelihood of getting smashed or snagged in the rigging/beam from a swinging load as much as falling. Current standards allow 25' with no tie off for connectors (guys bolting pieces together), so they deck every...

When engineers go homeless :lol:
