Respect to your man there for being a genuinely dead weight during the exercise. No doubt he felt rather uncomfortable hanging there like an old ballbag withering in the sun
Oh my god, introduction says it is practicing but, the man who pretending dead is real which make you return to beginning to be sure it is exrcise Great and professional practice
I climb telephone poles as electrician and then for the telephone company. But that is NOTHING compared to what you guy do. I mean you guys have balls of iron and deserve every penny u make.
On every post fall rescue or high angle rescue video that I have seen to date (30 years) as an instructor I have found at least one safety violation. Congrats this is the first video that I have seen with no safety violation. It was a perfect rescue. Well done to the rescuer and their instructor. J
@@bladesboomsnstuff3484 great question some safety rules are critical and some not so much It’s Russian roulette you never know when the chamber is full
Volunteering to risk your life to save someone else is admirable. To practice these skills regularly shows commitment. I hope posting this for others to observe and learn from inspires a new set of volunteers. And we all pray that an actual emergency never occurs.
Phenomenal reaction time when your coworkers life is on the line. I'm a commercial painter mostly big buildings painting exteriors off swing stages and preacher seats. Seconds count when a man is hanging like that possibly cutting off blood supplies. Kudos for practicing and nailing it like that.
Nice rescue and wonderful view. Keeping your main and belay tails in their bags improved rope management, and your choice of ASAPs and I'Ds removed most of the risks of human error. Nicely done.
Excellent video. Smooth execution, nice flat Kansas backdrop, and sweet music selection, man. Ol' dude is cool as a cucumber. Oh, and I'm a fan of the orange.
Nice work. I never saw or thought of clipping the rope bag to my side, that eliminates having to throw your rope over and possibly getting snagged before you start your descent. Great video!
It's excellent rescue practice I have never seen before working as a wind turbine engineer it's very important to learn the things like this Really Team 👍 done a great job
Recently attended fall and rescue seminar here in little Norway. Much more controlled environment than this. This was amazing to watch. Very skilled rescuer, and lots of respect to your man that's hanging there. That had to be uncomfortable.
when you are that far off the ground, you are calculating every moment and working with extreme precision and confidence. other wise you don't have that job.
@@nathanmccabe3505 that’s right. If there’s ever anything you’re not 100% you’ve done right, you’re double or triple checking. Also there’s a good deal of redundancies in place to allow for one or two things to go wrong
@@geminiclimber cool! I used to work for Bonus Wind Turbines in Tehachapi, CA. Climbing them was always interesting and spooky a little.Not sure if Bonus still exists.
I technically have a pyhsical disability but I'm 28 years old and I've been living with it my entire life. My right leg does not have a quadracep. But I would be willing to do this kind of job, I think this video is badass. I can't imagine a single company willing to hire me given my pre existing condition.
in our rescue kit we have a 10:1 pulley system not bigger than a cucumber. it's a big plus if the guy is supported by his fall arrest rather than the descender.
It's good for you that he passed out. it is certainly much easier to switch on someone who is not panicking. I hope I will never have to save my colleagues or be in need of rescue. A beautiful rescue, I hope your friend has recovered well. stay safe.
Nice one! One thing when doing very long drops tho, is to use 2 IDs instead of 1 and a ASAP.. The rope stretches so if your working line brakes when your 5m from the ground on a 80m dropp, the 75m rope above will stretch about 3-4m (5% stretch) before the ASAP locks, given ther is no slack in the rope from the wind ect.. Rope stretch can fuck thing upp when you do a pick off resque too in the same way.. So it always something you shuld think about when doing long dropps.
I’m 20 years old living in Iowa and working a “dead end” job. We have plenty of turbines here and they have always fascinated me. What schooling/training do you have to go through to become a tech, time length, and is there an age requirement? I’d love to be able to do a climb along if those are a thing. This job looks like so much fun.
Probably the first place to start would be which companies own the ones local to you. There should be some contact info on their website. They would be the best sources of info for this field.
Are you utilizing equipment provided by tech rescue team or windmill operators? Reason I ask is the wind farms we are responsible for (fd based tech rescue) have better equipment ( most advanced/expensive) than we do. Great video.
Wow, very impressive rescue, even 4 practice run. L@@K very real & wasted no time getting the victim down 4 ASAP med attention. Thx 4 sharing on the internet.
Rig rat medic I have to say I get everyone's point yours and everyone else's the music sucks it sucks the music is not needed in this kind of video at all it sucks balls anyhow
I realize this is from 2012, but I think I saw the new (oktober 2018) GWO single rescuer standard state that the rescuer should be underneath the injured person, when going down like that? Or is it only inside the tower that rule applies?
Nice! I bet it would be a blast to play around with different scenarios on a wind turbine! I rig the anchors to lower, so i don't have to expose myself and hopefully have the casualty on the deck pretty quick! (2 GRI GRIs or IDs) Smooth rescue from decent! Good job!
Yes he is. In this instance he is descending on an ID. If they were descending on a stop, he could have let them both down with 2 stops... More steps and takes longer.
To work on these things are you expected to be able to do this? To climb and abseil on the exterior of the structure? I'm ok with heights and think I'd be ok on the inside, but makes me dizzy just watching this.
Im a wind and a blade Technician. Installs and blade repair. Im certified and trained for this as well certified in 3 different types of self rescue. For the rescue to take place in about 5 mins was very well done. It will be longer if the rescuer has to climb the tower and then set up up for the rescue. We use life lines so if someone is hanging, all we do is climb the tower and use the asap to descend the person. Obviously there are always different scenarios, but its best to always be trained once or twice a year and always inspect your gear. Always be prepared for anything.
Nice job! Super rescue! But.. are you not suppose to make sure the legs are firmly close as soon he touch the ground? To make sure that the blood circulation doest "restart" to fast and cause a heart attack?
I would believe time wise it would not be a problem. If hang time is more then 20 min, then yes for sure. But in real life, the rescue person is close by and will have the person down on the ground way before that time limit. This is a rather simple rescue. High yes, but simple, and in that matter, fast.
I work on wind Mills setting the cranes up..just curious why they aren't hooked to like a winch already. Yes you can have a life line but OK he fell past out. Ok hit the down button lower him right to the ground. Just curious.
These days after years of evolving, we do “rig to lower” which means there is twice the amount of rope so all you have to do is lower them from there anchor point. The rope they are working off of is terminated in a descender.
I am not referring to the kit, but I am referring to the device. The rescuer is using the device RIG and not the I'D. I can see the I'D in the victim's setup, and then the rescuer transfers the victim to his own rigging with the RIG. That is why I'm curious How the RIG device reacts to this maneuver?
InsaneD0GG I don’t work for Siemens , I own and operate a Rope Access Company, Masterpoint Rope Access Solutions. How is Illinois going? I’m starting a St.Louis office and live here now.
@@geminiclimber Oh ok cool! I'm not crazy about Illinois, but the job pays well and eventually I'll transfer to Colorado site. I miss the mountains and the humidity in Illinois is horrible.
When you are up there on a wind turbine you are your own rescue team. The ambulance is at the bottom. So are the firemen and the paramedics. Everybody who works up there is trained to do this. If you can't, you don't get the job.

Yeah that must have been quite unnerving just hanging there and giving up control in a situation like that. I would not want to do that.

You men and women who do this are a special breed.
Its a brotherhood few people well exsperiance in their lives
The amount of trust he must have had to let someone else unclip him from his rope. Must have been some rigorous training.
That. Guys the best actor I've ever seen, place for him in Hollywood!
Why stain the mans talent by placing Him in Hollywood lolz
yes and you best comentator on the world
If I didn’t know this was a training video I would’ve thought he was passed out for real😅
yes
They usually have to leave him hanging in the sun for about 3-4 hours, to get this great of a performance out of him.
He's on the ground and still plays dead. An Oscar Worthy performance, bravo!

Is Slade (person being rescued) attached to your gear and detached from his rope?
Yes he is. In this instance he is descending on an ID. If they were descending on a stop, he could have let them both down with 2 stops... More steps and takes longer.

Reese McGee they climb
Grant Bla bla bla ahh, bet
Ladder inside the turbine

Question:
How his RIG reacted with this maneuver?
His rig meaning his kit? The rescuer transfered the victim to his kit and descended on his ID. They were attached via karabina
I am not referring to the kit, but I am referring to the device. The rescuer is using the device RIG and not the I'D. I can see the I'D in the victim's setup, and then the rescuer transfers the victim to his own rigging with the RIG. That is why I'm curious How the RIG device reacts to this maneuver?
TRASK THE MAN - awesome. But damn that harness is so complicated I was getting sick just trying to watch. :)
