[VIDEO] “Fall guy Steve” demonstrates 3M, DBI-SALA Self Rescue at World of Concrete 2017

[@awesometopics1988]

But if you're on the 23rd floor and you only have a 100 or 50' self rescue rope how does that work

[@MrT4free]

Exactly

[@FunnierK]

Did a little research on internet once I readed this, seems like they only have 100 and 50 foot self rescue devices

[@chrishayes5755]

you lower yourself down just til you reach a window, then swing with momentum and crash through the window, simultaneously unhooking your harness while doing a roll maneuver

[@nebula4287]

Granted this may not work for certain situations it will still help in those it can, the fall protection device will keep you suspended even if you can't get down with the lowering system

[@Richard-nb4iv]

When you STOP from the Drop you Roll. Say it with me...Stop Drop and Roll!

"Take another selfie" what a King

[@eharris6347]

Dude good idea , excellent those should be standard

[@frenchie6330]

Only problem you run into is when you are more than 100 feet up then you pull that and you now have to a climb of 100 feet to self rescue

[@frenchie6330]

Other than that I 100 percent agree

[@leolarocque491]

I’m wearing this today and gotta day good idea but I’m hanging steel with 3 bolt bags full and my tools plus the weight of this thing sucks. Not an issue with device as much as my job title I guess

[@TheBuildingCode]

what is your weight all belted up with all your gear accessories and the whole shebang? i require my technicians equipment to be 15% greater than the load it must carry. trying to get a feel for what guys are coming in at, my max potential weight comes in at 297lb with tools but without devices.

[@coltentourigny4342]

Is there a CSA Sandard version of this?

[@rawstarfan]

Is the safety landing a one time use?

[@666Kasinova]

you can reel it back in and use it again

[@OldTreeBranch]

you should not use a harness or lanyeard again after it has been subjected to a fall.

[@666Kasinova]

@OldTreeBranch for a regular lanyard, yes they are 1 time use. The retractable is different, though, you can use it until it's not safe to anymore. The harness definitely goes to the trash after a fall

[@OldTreeBranch]

@@666Kasinova true that

[@mywifesboyfriendisfire]

​@@666Kasinovaat what point does it become "not safe to use"?

Interesting . . .Does this attach 2 any harness, like SRL? Or does the harness needs 2 be from the same manufacturer of the self rescued pack?

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

I have 4, in my Ford F-250 4x4 King Cab safety pickup.

[@gavinbkr10]

Yeah but how long is the cord? What if it just makes you even harder to help

[@AspiringStenographer69]

They come in 50’ and 100’

[@TheBuildingCode]

how would this make it harder to help you?

[@OffensiveJestr]

For all the people say "Well he's on the 23rd floor." Okay, first off as a Safety Manager where are all your controls to prevent falls in the first place? Guard rails, safety nets, fall restraint, using multiple lanyards. There are ways to prevent falls. If you're having falls on the 23rd floor, you need to fire your safety manager, cause they ain't doing their job. I currently have 1 million + safe work hours on my job site and we're currently putting up 2 buildings, and pushing a crew of over 1,200 people. And if you have a fall on the 23rd floor, guess what, the 22nd floor is right below you...

[@noryxo101]

Is that self retractable?

[@tanyachapman1434]

These are single descent only.

[@dennisfestas5273]

He's on the 23 floor, 20 Stories 217 feet, his line is 100 feet how does he reach the floor?

[@daemon610129]

In real life situation 6ft lanyard with 3 ft shock absorber would lower him to 208 ft then the 100ft self rescue would lower him to 108ft which is within boom reachable height.

[@MrT4free]

@@daemon610129 you still need a boom lift on site though.

[@jimcosta4071]

Ok that is a nice rig but like you say that it only comes in a 50 and a 100 feet what if your at the 23rd floor like you mentioned and you on a wall that has no windows or balconies how would that work for you my guess is your hanging there till lunch is over that’s just my guess what do you think

[@pimpmafuqa]

I think youre a dumbass. This isn't the be all and end all safety tool, PPE is last resort, there's 10 things to prevent the fall from even happening or requiring to use the descent rope, if you rely on PPE get off the job site.

[@HaskinsChannel]

pimpmafuqa what’s dumb, is to demo this tool and saying you are at the 23rd floor.

[@mav5204]

Id say thats heavy , harness for 8 or 10 hrs is already torture as it is.

[@mat6462]

Or you can call your boss to tell him you're just hanging arround and need some help.

[@kebleward7550]

😆

[@TheBuildingCode]

unless your unconscious

[@nicholasmendoza6159]

How would that work in a 300ft tree? Is it lomg enough 😂

[@nomankhan8404]

Sir mujhe ise tarah ki Safty balt chahiye

[@paulp3599]

Can unimagined how heavy it is on ur back all the tools and carabiners is enough weight lol in sweat thenexofit the newest one is heavier then the oldest one

[@Kevin-fj5oe]

You can anchor the device and just tether it to your body with just the cable but it wouldn't be practical if you have to travel more than the cable provide quite a lot

[@nunayobiznass]

If youre unconcscious this doeant work... all plans should account for the worker to be unconcscious

[@louismuni1647]

Are we overlooking anything??? Like the fact that he was on the 23rd floor? That little pack has 200+ feet of lowering capability? Nahhhhhh..

[@johnnylabedzki]

If he fell from a scaffold it could be useful to lower yourself to the next lift and get back on the scaff safely

[@kebleward7550]

I thought of that. This may only allow a single story rescue. Possibly 2.

Dude went climbing wearing a hard hat and not a climbing helmet 🤣

[@games_gains]

There is no standard in the US regarding "climbing helmets".

[@dennisgarber]

I agree. Hard hats are for dropping bolts. I bought many different fall head protection, from climbing helmets, to soccer, to hardhat and chin strap, to skating on the last job to see what is the most practical. I learned that the climber helmet is for repeated falls and small holes for rocks, which I don't need....The bike helmet offered eye shade uv protection and was the lightest and coolest, plus it offered very good 360 side protection. A single use fall hat is preferred for work, because the tradeoff is getting a lighter, cooler hat that is just as comfortable as a baseball cap....The hard hat was heavy, and would sluff off in a fall, and the design was not for fall protection (just falling hammers and bolts, which don't apply ever to the real world, unless you are an idiot enough to choose a spot to work under another guy, which is never necessary unless you are building sky scrapers), but it looked like I was official, while most other solutions looked alien....A 360 soccer halo and bump hat insert, looked the best, least alien and made me not look like I never climbed before in my life. It probably offers a 2 meters of protection as well as Tarzan swing concussion when falling off and swinging into structures... The bike helmet won by a long distance in every area, especially comfort and cooling, except it looked the most alien. Definitely, they need to be the standard and the look normalized for job sites, despite the protests of big money and lobby 3m and others who would lose a huge market share. Construction hard hats are nothing more than safety theatre, unless you have people working over head, which is very rare in most professions. Hard hats are a product of the ppr lobby.

A rescue that takes hours? That's a bit of a self serving comment.

[@jackberdine]

a bit of an exaggeration lol

[@TheBuildingCode]

well if you botch your risk assessment and rescue plan then yes rescue can take hours and you are recovering dead technicians. so no not an exaggeration, thats why you are required to rescue in less than 3 or 6min depending on the authority having jurisdiction.

The 3M monopoly on these has jacked up the price 7x the necessary cost. Need and alternative brand. Monopolies are never good for cost or quality.

[@TheBuildingCode]

i agree im desperately looking for other options, it also sucks they want to claim its compatible with other equipment but not actually, call them and ask that question. this is too expensive for start ups and little guys, so now i have to work unsafe or walk away from jobs because they wont pay 2K for safety gear per technician, the 600 for the harness is already too steep, can we get the whole pack for 700 or less?
