How many bellringers does it take to break a 41cwt tenor bell rope...?

[@Nautical_Parsnip]

It's a party there's confetti

[@noelkoludrovic2095]

puppy67726 Gaming hahahahahahaha

[@cornwall_trainspotter4346]

Hahahahahahahaha Very Funny

[@josephfrye7342]

not funny didn't laugh do you know how it's expensive to replace this rope?

[@theadrien1937]

I just liked everyone comment, oh and the video was good I hope they replace the sally

[@Steven_Rowe]

A test of a heavy bell rope is 3 or 4 Devon call change ringers pulling the tenor up in peal.. Imagine Exeter tenor rope with 72cwt up top and 4 big blokes on the tail end.

[@markrickett3064]

0:05 looks like a party naturally

[@britainluver431]

Could you do a video at St Merryn's Parish church in Cornwall.

[@markrickett3064]

The rope broke

[@thetrainspotterfromgisborn5929]

R.i.p Bell rope

[@josephfrye7342]

Congratulations! 1,000,000th stroke!

[@christianong3703]

That's happened at St Buryan tenor 37cwt in C# up there in Cornwall poor old John Barnes went flying off the box after they got them up in a rise it was worst because he felt off the box after trying to pull the tenor for call changes at the start when he pulled the tenor the the rope snapped and he went flying with no injuries probably a bit on his head this was years ago and it probably kept on swinging until it stopped because it's a 1.9 tonne bell it will ring ring and ring for a while

[@jasonburnet9181]

It takes 3 bell ringers :)

[@contraposaune]

Solution: Counterbalanced clapper :)

[@duke3296]

Been ringing and the only thing I broke is the slider but the rope end up my right hand injured...but now I'm fine...

[@daffyfromuk]

It only takes one skillful ringer to ring up a bell of those proportions

[@bruceknights8330]

Possibly weakened by the rope guide?

[@gabrielle715]

What happened to yhe bell😢😢

[@patrickmeyer2802]

sally explosion odd place for it to break though

[@quwers]

No loreen this time?

[@ferencrupeck845]

Seriously though, I do wish people would not try to ring up (or strike when down) heavy tenors in peal. Bell ropes are expensive and not easily replaced. This has happened elsewhere and IS avoidable.

[@josephfrye7342]

yes i should go for the digital carillon with speakers if i where you. because the bell rope breaks and it is a pain to replace the rope in usa. i seen this happen in united kingdom.

[@adamm2693]

Digital bells, are you off your Rocker!! Vastly inferior to the real thing, and not half as fun

[@Yes_Alex_Cook]

is ringing up in peal more stressful to the rope?

[@jesusblanco5077]

Why does it take to ring bells in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿?

[@spuds4t]

These chaps were not exactly pulling the rope but "checking" it on lowering. Judging by the ringers involved (with all due respect) it looks as if that something in excess of about forty stone of weight and effort was being applied against 41cwt of bell - poor rope didn't stand any hope whatsoever! ding -dong!!

+Henry Taysom they would of had crap in their underwear

[@RingerJake]

+Amelia Violet Is this comment REALLY necessary...?

[@ListerofSmeg2006]

To be fair it's a sensible comment. The amount of force being applied coupled with the (in my opinion) poor technique contributed to the rope breaking.

[@sbennie1]

@@ListerofSmeg2006 yeah in 'your opinion' got any ideas on lowering 2 ton in peal?

[@ListerofSmeg2006]

@@sbennie1 perhaps less pressure on the rope and more respect in the peal for the tenor? In my bellringing days when we did a peal ring down we followed the tenor bell as opposed to the treble and let that dictate the ringing down. It meant less pressure on the two tenor ringers and less pressure having to be exerted on the rope. It took a bit longer to ring down the peal but resulted in less stress and pressure on not only the equipment but also the ringers

[@AYDEN_OFROBLOX]

what happed did they get a new rope?

[@InstrumentFan2510]

WHY DID THE BELLRINGERS DO THAT

[@mtomines]

0:05 NO! MY ROPE IS BROKEN!

[@mtomines]

0:05 MY ROPE! MY ROPE! IS BROKEN!

[@InstrumentFan2510]

Did you ring the bell and break it and was in the video or were you ringing the other bell

[@InstrumentFan2510]

HOW?

[@ashthegeek]

Was that a Tenor bell in the background?

[@therailcat9790]

Yes

[@gabrielle715]

the bell rope brook

[@TB76Returns]

OOOOOOOOOH SHIT!! How long did it take to replace the sally?

[@duke3296]

It can replace right away in under 30 mins

[@FrancescoBellringer]

It takes someone to un tie the old rope from the wheel and tie on a spare rope. nothing very difficult. if you mean the rope that broke in this video, i’m sure they would’ve probably sliced on some new rope with a new sally (at the rope makers workshop) so as not to throw away an entire rope.

[@Ian_Livesey]

He who breaks it, mends it 😀

[@WilsonTomines]

0:05 WATCH OUT! YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL!

[@mmstudio4664]

Did they replace the old broken rope with a new one?

[@noelkoludrovic2095]

0:05 ho

[@jahejq_short29]

The bell is broken

[@heidar13fes]

You kant hear the Tenor ani more

[@josephfrye7342]

this is why i go for the digital carillons chime rods things instead but the one with the rope is a bitch to replace them that is how bad the rope is.

[@WilsonTomines]

0:05 NO

[@Steven_Rowe]

To much scrumpy maybe. Mind you, you blokes are masters at raising bells and 3 or 4 blokes, no problen?

[@tylerwalsh5152]

0:05 Bell rope broke and goes to the dump

[@Louhisahabatkeken]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

Has anyone ever accidentally held onto a rope and got pulled up by it because they weren't strong enough to hold it? I never seen that happening in a video before so I don't know if it actually did happen, but I'm guessing it happened at some point

[@kyletheringer]

It can happen if you take too much rope in or if you ring a big swing chiming bell like great peter of york minster and hold onto the rope as its rising
