  • 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

    That. Guys the best actor I've ever seen, place for him in Hollywood!
  • @GabrielTobing
    Bet the guy was just sleeping the entire time, that's why he's such a good actor.

    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.
  • Nice 'Rescue' every movement was thought out and preformed safely, again, great job!

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    Now that is insanely complete trust in your teammate....looking at him being 'dead' makes my shoulders hurt, too. Well done!
  • 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!
  • @aadrianaad
    that’s the best round of “andy’s coming” i’ve ever seen
  • @mikel9567
    We need that guy to be our patient for our EMS drills.
  • He's on the ground and still plays dead. An Oscar Worthy performance, bravo!

    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.

    I took 2cd place in aerial rescue back in the 90s during tree competition. Nothing like you guys though. Hats off...
