GoPro Rope Access at Seadrill West Leda Jackup Rig Offshore

[@crapp0]

I believe the reason why he could descend so smoothly was due to him pulling the shunts "cord" while on the ID with his left hand on both the shunts "cord" and on the ID's handle. This problem would be solved if he used the ASAP instead of the shunt's.

[@en8207]

That's why I live u guys! Good job!

[@bigpunisherfan7294]

What ever happened to the good old days ! where you could just ride the blocks down to the Rig floor.

[@ZenZone_Soundscapes]

Can't believe he's using shunts!!! I don't know what a shunt is. Just wanted to fit in. Hahahahahaha

[@siva_99]

Shunt mean backup

[@vigneshnarayanan4503]

I have -7 power in eyes am i eligible for this work

[@stephengeldenhuys2119]

GeeZ Dude, how long do you want your Shunt Tail....600mm!!!!

[@wadesarver4207]

Hey, cool video. Good rigging but I see that you put your rope grab on a regular lanyard, we put them on our shock-absorbing lanyards just in case we slip so it can absorb the shock.

[@DroneServices]

that "rope grab" is called a shunt and will not operate correctly with an absorbica lanyard, you should use the absorbica lanyard with an ASAP.... Although most prefer shunts, unfortunately they don't conform to EN12841A (back up devise) most other back up devices do... DUCK,RED,ASAP,ASAP lock,QUANTUM to name a few . I take it you are not rope access but climb using fall arrest... they are two very different things bud

[@slattman1509abn]

Wade Sarver Hey Wade, nice to see you. The lanyard that his back up device is attached to is commonly referred to as a cow's tail. It is a length of dynamic rope that will offer a degree of shock absorption in the case of a fall. I tend to use my cow's tails as more of a positioning lanyard and rely on a Petz'l ASAP w/absorbica lanyard for my fall arrest gear when I'm on the ropes. Either way works.

[@HeliumFreak]

Then you are using the equipment wrong, I'm not sure why I'm replying to a 6 year old post because your probably dead by now

[@DroneServices]

nice vid mate.. but why not attach your RIG to your "D"ring BEFORE you go out board..just incase you drop it..oh and do i need to mention the one point of contact before you attach to the ropes... you need to be whiter than white if you want to post rope access videos on here mate lol

[@TheFillyfillyfilly]

+bawzoot72 2 points of contact. 1) Lanyard 2) Boots to the ground

[@DroneServices]

+TheFillyfillyfilly your full of shit pal... So it's cool for one point of contact and then throw your leg over the handrail... Instant fail on any IRATA level . Fact. Feet on a bit of steel 100 feet up and your classing that as a point of contact? Like I said, full of shit...

[@TheFillyfillyfilly]

+bawzoot72 Don't know about IRATA because I'm SPRAT but the only time we went over the edge of a platform while not suspended was going up and down the ladder, in which case we only had 1 attachment point as the primary point of contact was the ladder

[@westandrews7682]

It just goes to show the standard difference between IRATA and SPRAT. if that's the level of SPRAT then I'd want to be no where near it.

[@Rob-hx6on]

@@fortunatedad7695 I think you need to go back for a refresher, obviously you haven't taken it all in.

[@rockyrobin710]

Shite rigging.... Deviation 20° that was more like 90. And 1 point climbing over the side.... Lovely.

[@colinsmith1412]

Nothing wrong with it. You’re clueless.

[@elliottheap8969]

Colin Smith I can see quite a few issues regarding things like his cow tails being too long giving an increased fall risk and a few other things.

[@dr.octogan1656]

@@colinsmith1412 there's alot wrong from beginning to end. Welcome to the world of rope access.

i love this shit. i need to get my certs. been working without em.

there are some moments when you go out that you are left without any fasteners?sorry for my English

[@geengchai]

I will love this job if i doing this

[@yurigagarin1728]

Dear algorithms. Please send me more of this

[@jimmymifsud1]

Not to mention that the Petzl Shunt is not rated for industrial use, never has been and never should have been used.

[@SKETNETAICALLS]

15 years the shunt has been my back up offshore, wind, refineries. Each to the own and there skill set with the equipment that there trained to use. Yes there's always something better out there, but simple is better then adding something new with more weight added to replace something that works Already. Shunt. But I try to use the newest equipment if it's available to thats another issue I find with companies not having the newest equipment but they still want you to use there company equipment. Been though that many times. Stay Safe, Climb Hard, Play Harder!

[@connorwallis2765]

Mateeeee - a few dodgie aspects to this - have all been mentioned below...one thing i didn't see mentioned was the huge lack of rope protection

Indeed. So many sharp edges

[@scwooreviews1690]

+Nigel William Swart Shut up man and enjoy the video can't you?

[@Joel5001000]

In all fairness +Scwoo Reviews , +Nigel William Swart does have a point and although its a fine video it does, as with all videos like this, have its flaws. For example the video is now outdated as use of a 'Shunt' as PPE no longer fits with current regulations. On top of that, I personally would have used rope protectors where he is passing the metal work and changing orientation at 3.13. Now I appreciate the guys doing a good job on the whole, oh other than his one point of contact at the beginning, and we are nit-picking but if we cant use this as a forum for conversation like this then what's the point in the video in the first place. I also agree with +Eugene Lim about using an ASAP as an alternative to the shunt, just to make the decent smoother. But if +Rifaie Ahmad is more inclined to use devices such as the Shunt, there is always the 'Duck', a very similar device, that still meets current regulations. On that note thank you +Rifaie Ahmad for posting the video, I really enjoyed watching, and don't see all this as negative, on the whole you were spot on in this video. Joel

[@DEVILMATE1996]

How much do u get paid for this 😂

[@gfexc]

too much stuff and rigging for some simple descent that can be done with a line and a figure 8

[@lindalakota38]

That is the way the get to that cat walk kinda not well thought out

Shunt?? Really? WTF?🙃
