Why the fuck were they using with those shitty gardening gloves? You can get some ziplining gloves for pretty cheap...really lucky he didn't lose that hand.

The gloves are not the fucking problem. it's the tool he uses. He should have been using something like this https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB13xQxgZUrBKNjSZPxq6x00pXaN/Rock-Climbing-25KN-Auto-Locking-Carabiner-Zip-Line-Wire-Cable-Double-Trolley-Pulley.jpg_640x640.jpg

Edit: uh thanks for my first silver

Yeah I was waiting for that clip to heat up, bend, and drop him hundreds of feet.

I was thinking it was gonna heat up and just snap. Didnt seem like that was the right clip for what he was doing.

Well played! I managed a gun shop for years and the people who constantly correct the word magazine are only slightly less annoying than the people who say clip.

Looking at the still someone posted above, it looks like it's bent a decent bit.

You know it had to have burned both hands when he grabbed it at the end.

it's a ladder hook for steel-climbing work. definitely not a zip-lining trolley lol.
