Why didn’t you negative rig them normally? I’ve blocked them down with attached zipline clip. Let the groundie “catch” the piece, then have the zipline tensioned to slide the piece out on.

Removing this rotten tree was part of a road widening project alone a short but particularly treacherous stretch of the highway between Port Alberni and Ucluelet, Vancouver Island. For years there had been multiple accidents due to collisions and falling rocks, including a very bad accident just prior to the project starting that resulted in the death of 2 on-call paramedics. Much easier to ask a question in the comments instead of guessing on a situation that you clearly know nothing about.

@Recoates8 күн бұрын
yes, this is the one ans only highway, effectively a mountain pass, to two remote towns on the west coast. Those who frequently have to travel that route very much appreciate the upgrade. Its just a shame that It was the death of 2 workers from perhaps one of the most noble professions to be the final catalyst of an issue thats been on hold many years previously. But you wouldn't know about any of that. You dont live here or even know what Im talking about. Have a good night Mrs

There's no other route that road could take in such a situation, just absolutely had to be routed through a tree that's older than America. I mean what if people who chose to live in the middle of nowhere want the services only a city can provide with no disruptions? Now that's what I call Cost Cutting! 😂

@@RACCOONSQUID it's a mountain pass, on a cliff. One side is a bluff, the other is a lake. And it's not in the middle of nowhere. First Nation's communities have lived there there for thousands of years, not tens or hundreds. And still live there today. Ultimately they oversaw and had the final say over the project.

I have worked at height in construction for 40 plus years ,and you are spot on Reg ( different discipline but the same emotions ) I have thought about this a great deal and I think a lot of the problems come from perspective , you can look up at a Building or structure from the ground and it looks nothing but ,when you are on it and look down, it can be terrifying for the newcomer even for experienced hands, There is no shame in taking a moment to collect yourself. Your words are wise and really should be on every curriculum for potential climbers .
