And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

I was trained on forklifts, telescoping an scissor lifts. This guy was an accident waiting to happen. We were taught to avoid this very scenario. My preference was a simple rope lanyard instead of the newfangled play- out type lanyards attached to a safety harness.
oh, I learned to really like the decent reel system and an ma-1 harness after getting blown off the tail of a C-5A in Oklahoma. It's a long, long way down and its a good thing to fall slooowly. managed to not break any bones. The Comms shop tech needed help getting off the tail after I blew over the edge. She was bananas and was locked up to the safety harness. I climbed up and showed her I was all good. getting back on the horse that threw me and all that. the lift operator in the video was stupid.

I should have added the operator was ejected vertically so if the

I get on these once in a while, your supposed to have a belt on attached to the basket.
ReplyDeleteGood thing the controls once you let go return to neutral
