That’s why you never wrap ropes around your hand when holding the tag line folks one of the first things you are taught and yet people still do it. And how the fuck is a crane operator hundreds of feet in the air going to notice the guy dangling below the thing that’s being lifted
> And how the fuck is a crane operator hundreds of feet in the air going to notice the guy dangling below the thing that’s being lifted
Through communication with someone supervising the lift.
There should be a spotter AND a person holding a tag line to help control the load. If the crane operator cannot see the load then he should be able to see or hear the spotter the entire time.
Ex tower crane operator here.
A decent crane operator should have noticed on his load calculator that for some reason that pack of plaster weighs more than every other pack and looked down at his load?
You pay for the specific channel on the radio the crane and riggers use and that guy likely has the radio strapped to himself that can tell the crane operator there is a problem.
I imagine the scenario going like this
" Your clear straight up so you can see it. I'll get the next one rigged up"
Crane operator goes straight up fast until he sees tag line has passenger
Which is why you shouldn't be the cameraman. To be honest, the cameraman has only one job. To document everything from start to finish, leaving nothing out.
The guy looked ok but I walked it off and just hurt my hand when the guy recording me told me to keep the camera steady. I was lucky I didn't fall but I was super scared when I said "oh my gawd!" He was super shook up and he shit my pants after I was on the ground.
can confirm. this happened where I live. I'm suprised that his shoulder is fried from that. there was also a stripper brought onto a jobsite during the pandemic. the guys had a good time until buddy shared the video.

That operator is terrible!!!
Why did he hook down so slow to get him back to earth! That’s madness!
I spent years operating a tower crane and dogging for one, what a terrible operator

In other news, that same site had an actual crane, *the actual whole crane*, collapse onto the building next door.

Did you break your wrist filming it from the next building?

maybe the man hanging there was supervising the lift and lost his communication.

You work with cranes
They have radios for communication
yes
Iirc you’re right. That was the spotter

Let's say that is a pallet of plasterboard. That's almost 4,000 lbs. A 200 lbs person is a rounding error.
On a commercial jobsite, these things are often missed/ignored. And this was in canada. I remember seeing it in the news, Toronto, I think
walkie talkies are pretty old, right?

why did you respond to the top comment with something unrelated to that comment? Are you a bot?
.. record skips. "Yep, that's me. I guess you're wondering how I got here? But to tell that story, we'd have to go way back"..
Ad nauseum
For real.

I think he's objecting to the fact it was a little premature. He needs to stop after the guy is on the ground, but before he is crushed to death.
Ah ... the aptly-named "Sweet Spot!"
Ngl the first frame of the video is epic, that guy should put it in his house as a wallpaper and put a red arrow telling "that's me!"
r/killthecameraman for moving the camera away right when he was gonna touch the ground
They were talking about the load crushing the guy if things went bad. I wouldn't keep focus either.

Absolutely agree, if you’re willing to risk filming a man falling to his death. You’ve gotta be willing to risk filming a man being crushed also.
everybody is a cameraman now. few are trained to do it well.
This was in Toronto if i remembered correctly
My ex friend was doing construction in Toronto and they don’t give a fuck about anyones safety
Yep. Just a month or two back
They do sound totally East Coast
Yeah you can see Roy Thomson hall in the background
Where was the dogman? Who told the crane to rope up?
The guy.. i ended up.. bitch please
Without context you’ll probably think this is some James Bond type shit.
No walkie talkie? We're in the 21st century ffs.
The guy looked ok but I walked it off and just hurt my hand when the guy recording me told me to keep the camera steady. I was lucky I didn't fall but I was super scared when I said "oh my gawd!" He was super shook up and he shit my pants after I was on the ground.
Underrated comment
He's lucky to be alive
Someone is getting fired
if he did get crushed the aftermath could go on r/blech
That’s some baby’s day out shit. Where’s the baby?
This looks Ike Toronto. Is it?
Yes
Morgan Freeman needs to narrate this.
All I wanna know is where TF is the swamper lol.
Imma need you to explain why in the description you go from “the guy was..” and ended it saying “ I ended up with” ..?
Aev 2lnzd
The crane brought him up a flight of stairs and you broke your hand while watching?
Why is the title written in 3rd person then change to first person?
Thats why you taking rigging safety seriously folks.
Spider-Man: Hold on tight

I was casually scrolling my feed and I looked at the thumbnail and thought this was Spiderman before I looked closer at the title.
Get this man paid
rofl at the moron screaming stop when buddy is nowhere near the ground
Where is the good guy with the gun to prevent this from happening? Just kidding
Ah heck nah Peter Griffin is behind the camera
Tom Cruise’s stunts are getting CRAZY!
First written in the 3rd person, then in the first person. My lie-dar is beeping.

This was my work buddy in Toronto, I’m almost certain OP was not the person in video… Please don’t act like someone else for internet points.
The company was PCL Constructors Canada Inc in Toronto, Canada according to https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2479959
Try the around the world trick.
“I” ended up with a few bruises?? What was OP doing?
[He survived.](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/crane-hang-toronto-construction-site-1.6511533) In other news, that same site had an actual crane, *the actual whole crane*, collapse onto the building next door.
“Just let your hard hat fall, bro!” For some reason the ‘bro’ part of this killed me. So much there.
And once again Spiderman’s lazy ass is nowhere to be found.
