[TowerTalk] This just about freaked me out

I was searching YT for some rigging videos, and I saw this (actually a very good channel). These are climbing arbourists, so they have lot of good technique like tramming/speedline/knots.

But I saw this video:

here the clip for the work positioning lanyard fails – this would have freaked me out !

so – always use good equipemnt and inspect well
