Respect to your man there for being a genuinely dead weight during the exercise. No doubt he felt rather uncomfortable hanging there like an old ballbag withering in the sun

Nice one! One thing when doing very long drops tho, is to use 2 IDs instead of 1 and a ASAP.. The rope stretches so if your working line brakes when your 5m from the ground on a 80m dropp, the 75m rope above will stretch about 3-4m (5% stretch) before the ASAP locks, given ther is no slack in the rope from the wind ect.. Rope stretch can fuck thing upp when you do a pick off resque too in the same way.. So it always something you shuld think about when doing long dropps.

This job looks like so much fun.

I would believe time wise it would not be a problem. If hang time is more then 20 min, then yes for sure. But in real life, the rescue person is close by and will have the person down on the ground way before that time limit. This is a rather simple rescue. High yes, but simple, and in that matter, fast.

Im a wind and a blade Technician. Installs and blade repair. Im certified and trained for this as well certified in 3 different types of self rescue. For the rescue to take place in about 5 mins was very well done. It will be longer if the rescuer has to climb the tower and then set up up for the rescue. We use life lines so if someone is hanging, all we do is climb the tower and use the asap to descend the person. Obviously there are always different scenarios, but its best to always be trained once or twice a year and always inspect your gear. Always be prepared for anything.
