excellent demo. What would the entertainment industry do without experts Like Rocky Paulson. I have heard about him , but never met him. His reputation proceeds him. Thank you for this very informative presentation.
Saw Rocky do a program on this subject at the USITT conference a few years ago. He had this rig and did a good number of shock load tests. It was very interesting.
I’m a construction 🏗 operator and I’ll be using the first three minutes of this video to show people how easy it is to damage rigging and crane components with just a minor shock load.
Hello local 16, iam currently working with guys to train them in Rigging with diggers and loaders i really like your demo however here in New Zealand we use metric and i want to recreate your demo with kgs could you tell me where to get the load cell and the release hardware to be able to recreate your demo thanks so much
Wrong, a steel block arrested by static gear is a poor model for the human body. A human body simply can't generate 4700lbs of force: vertebra would be crushed, limbs ripped off.... it would simply explode. Put another way, 4 large horses, which can pull ~1000lbs each, will rip a human body apart. Or, try hopping off a 12" ledge and crushing a 2-ton jack... good luck! Tests performed on live human subjects, dropped .6m on a 3m steel cable generated forces of 4.3kN... That's twice the distance of your first test , generating 1/5th the force of a steel weight.

He never said the steel block was a good model for the human body. He said the steel block would take more force to stop than a human body because all of its weight is arrested at once, while the human body would have their limbs falling slightly later than the majority of their overall weight. This test is harder to pass and will result in safer loading and equipment than your method. You may be technically correct but if you and this guy were selling fall arresters you'd starve.

This demo is amazing. I wish more people can see this. Perhaps a better tittle and more detailed description will bring more visitors.

I'm seing this video. Lesson able thank for making this video
I am local union 84 member thanks for your work
Thanks for this awesome demo!

GOD BLESS YOU MASTER

Thank you
Wow! Thank you
in physics if you drop a 1000 lb weight one foot it becomes a huge impulse. Shock load bad damage to crane and slings
What is the name that yellow rope
Thank you very much for this video ! so helpful for every rigger..
His name is ROCKY...PAULSEN!
Where's Taco?
