Cowboys Stadium fall protection install.

[@praestant8]

One would think an arena of this size, scope, and prominence would already have an arrest system in place.

[@jadenrott3950]

exactly what i was thinking

[@charleshill506]

One system won't work for every situation. Also riggers want to depend on THEIR system and work not someone else's.

[@9thcity]

somebody gonna remove those safety lines also the anchor points after events

[@themeatpopsicle]

indeed, even just some eyelets welded in to the beams to attach the rigging to makes sense to me. having to use a nut removal tool to stuff webbing through a slot so they can rest on a welded bridge between beams seems way more cumbersome and dangerous work to me (a climber, who is used to hanging off steel bolts drilled into rock)

[@stephenvaughn2635]

Who do you think installs it?

[@charleshill506]

My best rigging system is stay on the ground and pay someone else to climb. Thank you guys.

[@Hailingfromcork]

As one who walks on I-beams... this style of beam... moves a lot more than you'd like to know. Still love being up there.... but... yeah.... this video is more intense than it looks. Hope to have balls of steel too one day!

[@johnbutler1279]

Given the size of that place, you would think a good team played there.

[@robminmonaca]

Wow this guy had to get some serious BIG bucks for doing this at 200 feet in the air. I know regular arenas don’t have as high of a roof as a retractable roof football stadium here.

[@monmixer]

once you are past 30 feet you probably won't survive the fall unless you are awful lucky and even at 30 expect a minimum of life long serious issues if you do survive.

[@pleasuretokill]

There is not enough money on this planet to get me up there so kudos to this dude.

[@bratwurstbernd1129]

@@monmixer thats true but imagine the time youre in free Fall. Fuck

[@monmixer]

@@bratwurstbernd1129 That is not the problem. Most of these people are indeed tied off and if they fall it will not be far. The problem is the harness will cut off your circulation if you are hanging in it for to long. Depending on how long the person can keep pressure of the arteries in their legs. Eventually they won't be able to at all and they will fall asleep forever if there is no quick way to get them down or back on the steel. some places are extremely safe and even have inertia reels over every rigger. the reel will slowly drop them to the floor.

[@Apollo55_]

@@monmixer Im not sure what kinda harness you think these dudes are wearing but i can tell you from experience, its not cutting off anything except for maybe a nut if its in the wrong place.

[@BowlineBandit]

Learned some good tricks in this. Trying to be like you dawg. We might’ve worked together if you travel and rig

I don't know how that steel beam can hold that guy since he has massive and gigantic balls for doing a job like that haha.

Yo this deserves more views

[@goaliedude32]

So when you're installing these systems are you attached to rock climbing ropes that stretch just in case you fall?

[@ChiRat22]

All I can picture is realizing I forgot the right tool as soon as I got all the way to the top.

[@davidcmatt]

Cool video, thank you for posting.

[@99beowulf99]

Vertigo indeed, think of the folks who built it.

[@matthewferguson2515]

Yeah my palms are sweaty watching this.

[@ricardo.i.i.i]

Anyone know why they don’t wear parachutes in case of falling? Seems like that could be a good backup (unless I’m missing something)

[@jamesalexander5588]

I think they'd go splat before the chute opened properly.

[@infamouscheeseheadLive3109]

Holy shit my palms were sweating. Hell no I couldn’t do that job. Takes a lot of balls

[@MelonTramwayApparatus]

why does this only have 60k views while we have minors on tiktok that get millions?

[@cakearmy_maxgaming6346]

If someone takes a fall, does the cable they're on and anchor they're on get retired?

[@gerarteuben3333]

Yes the will be replaced as the shock load can weaken the rope.

[@goldengear6125]

Hopefully the guy gets paid 400$ each foot he climbs up. That place is massive, how in the world is something like that accomplished? Looks like it's 400ft in the air

[@WayneDisney-t6i]

What the he'll is he tied off to while up there? HUGE BALLS DUDE!

[@martinhenzl]

a rope

[@jonnyhalo1041]

as long as you survived right. and all you people saying he needs rope access training are probably right but I wouldn't want to jug all the way up that.

I don't understand why the fall protection is not installed when the stadium was built Like a permanent install 🤔

[@themilfologist]

No point, it would need regular checks anyway. These things get installed regularly depending on need ad hoc.

so are you on belay? when you stepped up on first sling what were you tied off to? only belayer? im so curious. i work in trees but this is really interesting.

[@juliustherenaissanceman1900]

What's wrong with putting a catwalk up on that.... why should people have to risk their lives just for a couple hours of entertainment????

[@alexcurry23]

How many people do you think would have to risk their lives to put a catwalk up there? I've been up in that roof many times and trust me, you can't just put a catwalk up there.

[@Shitty796]

It's not a risk hes tied off at all times

[@chrisolivo9937]

[@danzacjones]

It’s not as risky as it looks it’s just very high.

[@danzacjones]

@@alexcurry23if there’s a cat walk you still need space between beams to put rigging

[@brucetrappleton6984]

So, question: you are risking your life. At the same time, you make life safe for many. How much is your hourly pay? I'm guessing it shouldn't be less than 75-80 bucks an hour. Particularly, because you are responsible also for the good working order and maintenance of all your ropes (I'm assuming that's your own equipment, since this would be the only way you could trust it 100% because that's the only way to know how many hours of work and how rough has the life of a particular rope been, in order to retire it when it needs to be). Meaning, you need to spend lots of money in equipment.

[@joeg5414]

that's what I want to know - what's the pay. Because I'm sitting here thinking - you know what, they could offer me $1 billion to do it and I wouldn't be capable.

yes they are hanging truss from these beams. Of course the truss is about 225 feet down. Putting them about 50 feet from the ground. get out there and climb boys!
