Was about to comment this

Yeah people get eviscerated by tensioned cables. Shit is nasty.

It's honestly a miracle that Matt hasn't died from shit like this yet, if that cable snapped while he's touching it, it would cut him clean in half. These videos are going to end one day and we'll all know why.

posted the same above, its a one inch, so rated way above what he put on it, but the flemish splices, the chanin and then walking up after he shot it each time.....shit could of gone real bad real quick

extreme pucker factor

I was scared for him lol

Yeah after hitting it with that 50. Cal i was tilting my phone away when he walked up to it. And the guy is standing neck-height half a foot away from it 😅

How could it move after breaking? Looks like it just unravels into individual thinner cables instead of snapping very aggressively and going all over the place

I don’t know. Where would the cable possibly go that could be dangerous? It has to move towards the tension. I saw no actual danger except when he went near the winch.

@@dogishappy0 Good movie, but yes that is about what it would do.

It could/should have been tighter. I didn't hear the sound of the laser blasters.

My dad was in the Coast Guard and told me about that incident during Katrina, one of the cables attached to their ship snapped, my dad felt the swoop behind his neck, turned around and one of his colleague has his head cut off, they never found it. Your story reminded me of that and also that haunting scene from Ghost Ship.

Completely! Kept seeing that video when the crane cable snapped and tore all those people in mecca.

@@TaylorLiam87 it's different, in that video they put too much weight on the cable. meaning it was a tension snap. when hes shooting the cable, the force is concentrated on a specific point, allowing the different strands(????) of the metal wire to release tension individually. it wouldnt be a tension snap because its just cutting through the wire and slowly releasing tension as they break compared to if there was an absurd amount of weight that pulled the wire apart completely

@@cosplash9754 speak english pls

i just say to myself, "if video was uploaded, he is ok"

@@justavideo6324 It was pretty clear to me.

Dude, I was gonna comment on this myself. Scares the shit outta me!

Honestly, as seen from the cable breaking, that cable wasn't under a whole lot of tension. You have to understand that when he turns the winch off, everything relaxes and a vast majority of the tension is alleviated, as the truck didn't stay still, it slid a little bit. That's why he was still able to push the cable. On an elevator, the elevator cart is always hanging, being pulled on by gravity. To really get it under tension he'd have to be winching on the cable while shooting. Then when the cable snapped, it would go flying, just like when you pull a tree stump out of the ground with your car, the stump goes flying. He really was at no risk of injury when he inspected the cable.

Or laughing

@@nathan1sixteen you can see in the video when it broke it didn’t all break at once, there was one strand still holding for a bit, which allowed most or all of the tension to be released without it either end whipping around even though it was under tension. You are right that it wasn’t under the full 18k he mentioned but it would still be a lot

@@nathan1sixteen The reason the cable didn't snap is because he had already shot it several times. All the separate places it was already cut absorbed a lot of the shock. If you look at the video, it is more of an unraveling once the last places that were holding tension were cut.

Because it wasn't very tight...

@@IceBergGeo Also it didn't get cut cleanly. It got cut partially in several places and had to unravel itself to actually get free. It released its tension slowly as it unraveled. It would have been very different if it had been cut cleanly in one go, but that is virtually impossible as the cable is so much thicker than the projectiles he's using. He should repeat this test with a 20mm. :)

@@edifyguy definitely right about the lack of a clean cut. But, with having a static load, once a bit of the tension has been released, there is nothing other than the weight of the cable giving it tension. If there was a spring on it, or a pulley system and a hanging weight, it would have failed much more catastrophically. Hopefully he will milk this for one more episode and do something like that. (winch pulling up the front of the 5 ton, or something of the like.)

@@IceBergGeo Haha, that could be really fun :) Although you're only partially right about the static load. The cable itself has a bit of spring to it, and it had been sprung quite a bit, as evidenced by how far apart the two sides were after separating. Of course, a load like you propose would have been much more spectacular for the reasons you stated.

Was thinking the same thing, having it slide forward a bit it NOT even close to full weight of the truck.

You could tell the cable was nowhere near max tension with how much play was in it when he moved it back and forth with his hand. A max tension cable would not move if you tried pushing on it.

With the pistol yes fair enough. But I shot a dime sized target at 100 yards twice on my first shooting with 10 bullets out of a scoped rifle. Firearms are just crazy accurate these days. And he does this A LOT. So yes, good aim. But he's probably only 10-20m away. I'd say the pistol shots are the most impressive.

its why he is respected in the gun-community, as not just another youtuber

@Lukas Kisovec Deployed* And US soldiers weren't deployed in Afganistan in 1996.

It wasnt at full tension because the truck is less than 6t or 7t and the winch pulled less than it could because the truck's wheels slid. But in the end it turned out safe

@@Revishnov but elevators don’t weigh 8 tons so i don’t quite get understand what you’re getting T

@@adg_games6655 He never said elevator. They were using a truck with a winch. Actually had way less tension then one might think on it, probably shoulda got the front wheel in a tree to get the winch tight.

@@Revishnov I’d be more worried about a single thread snapping and hitting you. It wouldn’t cut you in half, but it sure as hell would hurt.

@@Isometrix116 Wouldnt cut you in half but could have it pierce you for one. But if you watch the one thread in the video the don't really do that they are spiraled and if one comes undone would spiral. And if it all goes at once the ends go straight back to mounting points. To avoid damage while using chains and cables when pulling fram in autobody we put blankets ontop of them around the middle so if broke the blanket actually takes the blow and the cable or chain shoots into the blanket and ravels up in a ball stopping it.

Ghost Ship style

Dude he was freaking crazy to walk up to that damaged cable with all that tension on it. Has he ever seen ghost ship lol

You do realize that when the truck is standing still, cable is not tensioned by truck's weight, don't you? The only force applied to the cable at this point is its own weight.

@@konstantin88181 It is still under tension but nowhere near the 18,000 pounds it is supposed to be, that would take a much heavier object than that truck.

@@thu4050 Yet tires on dirt, would yield at a much lower tension. By the deflection, tension was minor. Half way expected him to rest the bumper on the tree in front of the truck. That hydraulic wench unit didn't even warm up, no where near it's potential. Commercial equipment use hydraulics for good reason, extreme power being primary.

@@cheerdiver I was thinking the exact same thing. He maybe had a few hundred pounds of tension on the cable, but nothing close to the claimed 18k

@@nathan1sixteen that is because he is a veterinarian and not an engineer...

I agree. Theres no way it's that much. At the most it's the amount of friction the rear tires give

its barely enough to hold the cable. which makes sense, the truck weights 18k itself, but on weels. without the breaks a human could pull that, now you need only overcome the breaks on dirt. if i had to geuss somewhere between 1000-2000 pounds but i tend more towards the lower end

the tree might b swaying

@@crustycritters6148 when he grabs the cable is when it really starts moving. He grabs it and kinda shakes it and it moves very easily whereas if it was at full tension it'd be like trying to make a brick wall wiggle

Very true.

The cable was taut, but barely under any tension at all. It WAS under some tension while the winch was running and pulling the truck (not nearly 18000lbs, but significant tension for sure). Once the winch is stopped, the truck rests in its final position, and the ONLY force acting on the cable is its own spring force, due to it being slightly stretched. There is no force pulling on it from either end. This is why he was able to move it so easily with his hand. A cable under even 2000lbs of tension (let alone 18000, LOL) cannot be moved with your hand like that, because it would mean you lifting all that weight with one hand (by moving the cable sideways, you are contracting the distance between the two ends, pulling one of them in). So this video was actually pretty safe. The most dangerous moment was winching the damaged cable.

Seriously?

Always

Another fun vid idea! Shoot a elevator brake!!!

Yeah but elevators have a break system so that they don't fall all the way down! They stop... eventually! 🤔🇺🇸

I've commented this like a billion times man!!!

He should’ve put the bumper against that tree in front of it and maxed that winch completely out.

True it's not under full tension, you have dirt (which is going to slid fairly easy under the wheels), wheels themselves moving, the ropes and chains taking some, and that little tree would probably be cracking with that much tension if it didn't just break in half. Hanging the truck would put more tension on the cable then pulling with the winch But like he pointed out in the video vertical tension is harder to achieve in this scenario then horizontal tension.

Thank you. Came to comment the same thing. Once the wheels are sliding it is not full tension. He should have anchored the truck from the rear so it could not move.

@@jaredhayward3945 He should just buy a beater/junker car, attach a winch to it, and lift it up a tree. I've seen people pull their Jeeps vertically using their winch, so it's totally do-able.

Plus side: Sounds like we'll need a part 3 video to test this out

Very valid point you have! That cable was definitely not near 10k lbs either.

Wrong, when the rope is part severed the load is only taken by the intact wires. Shooting at a different area is hitting a mixture of tensioned and untensioned wires in the rope.

@@thoughtful_criticiser I appreciate the criticism. However, I stand by my perspective.

Do you feel that re-tightening is enough to compensate for that difference?

@@ianmn6275 It definitely can be, only if you keep the tension weight controlled. Bring up to tension weight again, after every shot. However, you are adding variables that change data, if that's something important. Those variables are, but not limited to things like how the cable unwinds differently because of inconsistent tension at horizontal vs vertical as it's being shot at. The shot location could have wires that plasticized (plastic deformation, or work-hardened), making it vulnerable to snapping/breaking, if re-tensioned.

It would take forever to sight them all in 😂

most likely correct

You can have a rifle sighted in at 100 yards but at 37 yards it's not going to be on. Your dealing with throwing very accurate and very fast rocks so you are going to have up and down at different ranges.
