Cowboys Stadium fall protection install.

Working at 297 feet in Dallas Texas at the largest arch stadium in the world. Installing and attaching to the beams. A temporary , rope fall protection system for riggers to work safely at height. Set in place by qualified and certified rope access technicians. This was the largest temporary fall protection system in History. Used for safe work on the American Country Music Awards. Along side with Kish Rigging, Production Rigging Resources, CBS, SPRAT and IRATA.

[@charleshill506]

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

[@TheCosmicDrama]

Right? No amount of money is worth it to me. lol

[@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.

I think I'll stick with stagehand. You guys are a different breed!

[@sandyoeznur8124]

Haha! My tought at 0:32 ...when not even before.

[@austinbradley9544]

I mean I can handle heights but NEVER that high or HIGHER

[@Bamba1400]

Their built different😂

[@jadenrott3950]

everyone has their niche. i like being a deckhand for a show and in the air for ins and outs.

[@Jude_The_Dude_736]

You have balls of steel to do things like that😨

[@thewasabicowboy3934]

you sir are absolutely crazy but I admire the hell out of you for doing this I would get myself killed if i attempted what you did here

[@CALIBREDTEXASFED619]

I lived in Arlington when they built the place. Those ironworkers are nuts

[@dfk4500]

You have balls that I will never have!!!! Love the video!!!👍👍👍👍

[@Kyle-xi8up]

I almost fainted while watching this! :D

[@davidcmatt]

Cool video, thank you for posting.

[@nickgomez6272]

taking on massive responsibility with this job. im sure it pays alright.

[@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.

[@jacoblewis6265]

This how you become a cowboy if you didn’t do good in practice

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

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

[@peterpham6288]

_”We forgot to turn on the GoPro, damnit!”_

[@goaliedude32]

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

[@christanner2555]

He got to work at one of the 7 wonders of the world. What a lucky guy....😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@BryanTexColombo]

Ayyyyy!! John John!!! 🤠

[@matthewferguson2515]

Yeah my palms are sweaty watching this.

[@bradycampbell5321]

You got some balls man

[@BHousePhotography]

Looks like a fun day at the office to me....

[@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

[@pl7577]

Just wondering why you didn't aid climb out instead of leading?

[@thebigdogsmac11]

The fact your whole life depends on that tiny thin velcro stitched rope if u fall just makes me sick whatching this vid lol. Props to the guy who had balls of tungsten for this

[@MelonTramwayApparatus]

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

[@omnih2o709]

How much experience did it take ya to be on the top settin?

[@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.

[@pogonomyrmexrugosus6240]

I damn near went into tachycardia watching this.

[@Futurebeefcake]

I couldn’t imagine having to build this stadium

[@danielr4640]

Chase Jerry Jones has plenty of money. He could afford just about anything

[@matthewferguson2515]

One more to make a completed circuit and stay grounded.

[@cliffboatright4804]

I remember it bubba it was intense some of the ones we had to do

[@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

[@alexochoa2594]

This is POV and I was scared a** s*** watching this video had my heart racing 😅

[@symoncapel]

I know this is an old video but I'm wondering what that flat jig is that you used to push and then hook your strap through the steel at 3:46.

[@tim.m3293]

Its a nut tool, they are intended more for rock climbing

[@ChiRat22]

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

[@alexnassiff183]

Me too!

[@mannyrivera3625]

damn how long did it take you to get used to those kind of heights?

[@adrianjagielak]

I would love to watch this in Apple Vision Pro

[@BlackRhinoMediaNetwork]

Need at least a million a minute

[@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.

[@jakubmancal8049]

Well mate, thats what it is, and thats what we do, but trust me, we would not do that for some spare change

[@Futurebeefcake]

I couldn’t imagine being that construction worker falling from the top of the roof.. nope nope nope!!!!!!

[@MrBurnsSoFunny]

working in stage production for many years now yeah im stay on the ground lol

Palms sweating 5 seconds in

There not working on something are they??

[@universalcichlids9313]

You KNOW he gettin paid well

[@sandersonshomestead6818]

Why wouldn't they weld permanent d rings on the trusses so they dont have to fish tie offs through the steel beams

[@sfsspacegamer4079]

Did you get down?

[@caseymikhail607]

I wanna do that, I climb billboards for a living but much rather do ur job sir

[@cakearmy_maxgaming6346]

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

[@Gemslottv]

Yeah I think so, or it at least has to get approved again by a certified company.

[@bigfish8280]

What is that youre actually doing? How much do you get paid? I'd love to climb around that place and get paid to do so

[@bigfish8280]

I'm assuming the job is to leave behind those "anchor points" or what ever their called.

[@garynolan5240]

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

Fucking cool job. I moved to Australia 7 years ago from California. Since then I've been an irata tech for 5 years and I'm a L2. I wanna get on jobs like this! Looks good. I like how you told the guy to talk to you. I was thinking the same thing... Good comms! What's the name of they little device you used to push the slings through that little gap?

7:00 and thats why they wear a helmet

[@step2191]

You mean to tell me they were going to fly stuff at this height?

[@johncaudill3774]

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!

[@step2191]

REason why I say that is the altitude...where does the chain hoist stop at? Is everything from these beams just wire ropes to another attackment point closer to the ground then chain from there? Thanks for the reply!

[@RaceAgnstTme]

4 small words. Hell to the no.
