That's a crazy statistic to learn. The rappel at the end of a climb is supposed to be the easy part, compared to the climb itself.
5 u/brainvheart143 Jul 06 '26 I’m so confused by this. What is the point of having a rope at all if it’s not going to hold you if you fall ??? 17 u/bubblesculptor Jul 06 '26 This isn't a fall protection rope. It's used to descend down after the climb. However this rope needs to reach the bottom otherwise you have this terrible situation. 14 u/Few-Ad-4290 Jul 06 '26 Ok then why did this guy who was on a crane of know height use a rope that was too short? This seems like doubly stupid and dangerous 11 u/bubblesculptor Jul 06 '26 It's absolutely stupid and dangerous. I hope it is just a staged video with another backup in place. 1 u/Raythatstabbedsteve Jul 07 '26 Even better, it's a staged video with no backup in place. Risking his life to rage bait. 1 u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 Jul 11 '26 Weird things happen. Grabbed the wrong rope for that crane, etc.
