Someone with a broken weed eater and a belt tensioner came up with a unique ascender but not for me. Safety duck would have a load to hold....7 years ago I hope your still safe
What kind of a shit show is that entire setup? Why don't they have a permanent station that they can access from the top like other stadiums? I am not sure I want to rope up to that mess, but I love the machine. In the past, we used Jumar Accenders to hoist our way up using our arms and legs. By the time I would get up to the top, I was covered in sweat and completely burned out. I like this machine, kind of a hand-held elevator.
At the top of the rig I see a few different knots creating the anchor (alpine butterfly, figure eight). Do you have a close up picture or a name for the anchor? Looks interesting, want to learn more about it.
There’s probably a safety option to still be able to go down I’m sure of it. I can’t imagine it would pass any safety inspection if you got stuck 100ft in the air 😅
Cant you put another pulley at floor level and tie a rope to the hitch of a pick up and have the pick up driver drive away to get up there? Seems like it would be a lot easier. XD
Jesus, petrol in close proximity to nylon rope 🤦🏻♂️ Not least a hot engine. Got to be the worst powered ascender design of all time 😵 Shunt is not a back up device 👎🏻

Ok now this is just insanity. I thought the other video was bad.
I’m glad this guy never got hurt. He’s still uploading as of yesterday. Completely insane job, I don’t know how he does it so casually.
So basically, a spider. Human spider. You are doing spider tasks. That is a spider's job, weaving webs. Climbing lines. Spider. I like spiders.
What??

Bro talks like a 2 year old
"In the name of the father, the son, and the Milwaukee chainsaw I have strapped to my chest..."
Now that is just downright convenient.
This is awesome. I wonder if I would be allowed to use it in my field. They should have a battery powered one.
They do, they are used on wind turbines a lot. And they often use battery powered one.

How do the ropes get up there anyway? Somebody must have been up before to put the ropes there?
the ropes have to be there for safety purposes. it would be unsafe for the climber if there weren't ropes there...
@@nicholasjohnson9694 He asked how the ropes got there. Not why they are here.
Same way the steel cables on top got there.
Its a cable system just untie the rope and ur ready.they install it during construction.sometimes u got to install ur own safety rope
Yep ya tie onto the beam anyway ya can.
Marlow 11mm semi static
are you using shunt for safety?
seems crazy to me to work that way
buy an asap or even a rocker
great view by the way
look closer
F that. Be safe. I could never do it. Scared of heights.
Me too!
When you hear a weed eater and someone repeating “I’m Batman” for 5 minutes straight.
Dangerous i had a buddy fall at the astro dome back in the late 70s rigging for ZZ TOP he was lucky it was 40 ft broken back broke arm
At 2:21 did he take off his safety? Or is another one of the cords also got a safety?
we are using one called a raptor and we run a saftey back up on the petrol motor as well as our back up
Yes I took the safety off. I edited out now .
Level 4 technique!
This was for the National Day event in Singapore?
Yes it was.
niiiiiice! incredible view
Somehow this is less scary than walking the pole one.
Shunt as a backup!?
it's still usable
Level 4😂

How you put the First robe on that fixing point up there. Do you use a slingshot or somthing?
The locals bum shuffle across the beam to put it in.

Unrelated, but I'm wondering what is in the seats? Or are they different color seats?

Wish i had one of these in my tree climbing days
Why don't they just build it so you walk on the roof and lower down cables and ropes for lighting and stuff like that?
How you can keep calm while swinging on a rope at that heights ?
A very good trust in the system supporting you.
Trust in your equipment
nice vid. what rope do you use?
Thank you. I used a Marlow rope 11mm semi static.
cool
so where do you sign up for this type of job?
using a combustion engine for this device seems insane lol
I see after 7 years the algorithm has brought us all together
Same
copying comments I see.
Good job copying the comment on his most viewed vid
yepp
You don't need to post this everywhere, idiot
where were you the entirety of this video?
also, how did you get your rope up to those cables in the first place?
Singapore stadium. Center on the rigging hub.
the Chain hoists where connected before the rigging went up. So when the hub was lifted .We sent someone up with some ropes.
At the top of the rig I see a few different knots creating the anchor (alpine butterfly, figure eight). Do you have a close up picture or a name for the anchor? Looks interesting, want to learn more about it.
Just google, standard rope access y hang.
Like relying on a leaf blower 😱

What happens if you run out of gas mid way threw?
I carry extra equipment. I can either abseil down or climb up with a cam device.
im sure these people get alot of money but i could never do that no matter any amount of money
That thing needs a muffler.
It has one. It's just a flat little metal box..most meet California epa standards even.
Can that thing pull a logging chain from a 2 ton for 100 feet? in a minute?

What happens if you run out of gas at the top? Can you still use it to get down safely?
There’s probably a safety option to still be able to go down I’m sure of it. I can’t imagine it would pass any safety inspection if you got stuck 100ft in the air 😅
Just have to do it manually like you would without the machine.
