This does not look fun.

In frenchish, so it will be a surprise when it happens

 

[Ewan Murray]

holy crap that looked bad!

[Taupotreeman]

Still trying to figure out what happened.

[Paul Jenks]

With the lump bouncing around he was lucky the crane driver didn't dump the load. I'm unable to see how his attachment system works.

[Graham]

It appears he's attached to the section being removed! Why? Has he also faced and back cut rather than a small step cut the crane operator could wiggle off.

[skyhuck]

It looks as though he is roped into the crane hook, I think his intention was to flop the lump and stand on the stump, but a stub on the lump caught his line, taking him with the lump.

 

Would have been much better tied to the stump and lifting the lump vertically.

[Mark Bolam]

That wasn't actually an accident.

 

That's just the way Mike Hill rolls.

[Tom D]

Why fell a lump when crane dismantling? what a tool, must be some size of crane to take that shock.

[Melodeon]

must be some size of crane to take that shock.

At around 1:40 or so, you can see the crane boom springing around in the top right corner!!!

That guy was insanely lucky.

[Mark Bolam]

Don't you think a lump that size would have snapped a climbing line?
