Oh Sh*T

In this video I will attempt to show you what happens when you are riding a swing on a 1000' structure during 15 mph wind. Between the 400 and 600 foot level, due to the amount of slack in the cables, the wind pushes our rig about 30 feet out from the stack and at times it is almost sideways.... fortunately our ground man had our cables clamped down tightly and our lifelines tied off tight to prevent a disaster. even so, when this would happen, it made us both quite uneasy... This was the best instance I captured on tape although there were other wind incidents that were more severe...

@BIGPOLLOTX niggers?

[milldabeast519]

thats just stupid , no anchor points for the decent cables??????? why the hell would u ride a stage at 900 feet with no anchor points at the bottom? only in america

[world2give77]

umm all cables and ropes WERE tied off on clevises mounted in the concrete at the bottom. and they were pulled as tightly as possible by hand BUT when you are dealing with 1000 feet, when you get to the middle you are certainly going to have some slack..... i mean what? do you think we should have used a come-along and possibly yanked our lugs out at the top? i myself did not care for that particular option...

Wow what a great fucking job you have, you must feel good about yourself at the end of the day. A huge polluting stack, and it's YOUR job to make the cause of the misery in that area look "better".

You weren't the lowest bidder, you were the only stupid rednecks willing to do such a shitty job. Congrats.

[world2give77]

AND BEDSIDES THAT- at least I have a job so that I can pay my taxes and provide your lazy good for nothing ass with a welfare check so that you can get reduced rate ELECTRICITY in order to sit on your fat ass all day and night watching youtube and posting completely useless comments while I am out earning a paycheck HMMM..... 3200 videos watched in just over two months.... I dont care what you say- U R scum AND people know that! YOU have no life PAL... and FWIW I am far from a redneck!

[world2give77]

you know what... You are sofa king ignorant that your comment doesn't even deserve a reply but I will say this... when the day comes that you give up electricity, then you can say what you want about me and my job. you don't know a thing about me except for that I don't care for ignorant statements made by people like you.... ..

under paid and over worked...I've been a scaffold erector for 24 years and there's nutt'n better then to end the day with a beer in hand thinking about what I did that day that most men wouldn't want....keep on climbing.

Ohh too scary for me!!

@BIGPOLLOTX wow what an @ss. with a weak mind sad in this day. black white yellow brown i dont know all the colors, but i dont need to b/c i dont care. but i do care that there are @sses like you still around. you need some schooling.

[peterrippe]

why am i going to guess that your ride there has a manual that has a top wind speed. In boston a few guys died like this. Too much wind - no go. I know shit happens, but you sound like you do shit like this often

[capricious71]

Damn, those rails should be higher.

[marshalljimduncan]

You guys got balls man!

[epcdave]

how about that inside rail not being fully elevated to it's proper height? Every paint keeps that thing low so it's easier to paint. Not good.
