Never Saddle a Dead Horse

This video shows failure due to improper use of a Crosby G-450. This is known as "Saddling a Dead Horse". It is very important to follow all manufacturer and OSHA guidelines for lifting and rigging equipment.

Learned this 47 years ago, working with an old time crane operator. Smokey, RIP Sir.

Very good thing to know. Thanks.

But what actually happened? It didn’t pull out?

[@chasetuttle2121]

I know its a bit late on the reply. But you are supposed to put the 'saddle' of the clamp on the live end of the wire, the saddle prevents the wire from getting pinched like you can see in this video. Its fine to have these pinches on the dead end of the wire because it isn't under a large load, but if you have a pinch on the working end of the wire it creates a concentration of stress and will snap the wire

​@@users-bibi50and another, even later thanks. I was stuck in that same hole. Your 'late' reply might help someone a decade down the road.

The rope was cut at the first incorrectly installed clip.

[@FaizanMulla]

U should have left camera inside 😏

[@johnb3289]

Or just buy the Crosby clips with two saddles and no u-bolt.
