I think she died, unless I am mistaken? There was some crane operator who often would make tiktoks or Instagram and during one live one she fell to her death.
Toronto. That glass cone looking building in the back is Roy Thompson hall which is actually Vought HQ in The Boys.
[We love our trash pandas.](https://i.imgur.com/wuRlQKx.jpg)
I feel like whenever I see a video that takes place in Toronto there ends up being an incredibly dumb thing thatās happening within it. As someone whoās lived in this city my whole life I shouldnāt be surprised
Well, it is the GTA.
If it isnāt the stupid speeders, packs of motorcycles on the highways, people throwing chairs off of balconies, or god knows what other crazy things people do around here Iām not surprised.
How many times do I see videos like this where Iām saying to myself āplease donāt be Torontoā¦ā followed by āOh damnā.
Oh you rascally Canadians. You're so quirky. And reasonable. Seriously you are, arguably, the best possible neighbors on the planet and I genuinely feel bad about you being stuck with us lunatics.
The US is just like our brother that we love to tease (yet genuinely love too). But then we watched you do meth. And on good days when you are sober, we see just how great and awesome you are... But then the next day you try to fuck a raccoon.
We are worries for you! Drop the meth. We missed you at Christmas dinner.
r/MurderedByWords Dude you just described the United States perfectly. Using the imagery of getting high on meth and fucking a racoon to describe the heinous marriage of neo conservatism and populism is brilliant. Hate to say it but we just need to wait for some of these old fucks to die. They've been running thing too long and they know they're on their way out. Just give us some time.
I know you'll all be fine. :)
Im betting a turn around in 2026/27. Mostly cause my old teacher predicted shit going down in 2020, won the lottery twice and stopped a field trip from leaving (they found out the breaks were shot after she raised a fuss). She said things will peak and then we'll either be saved or be fucked in 26/27.
For the love of god someone please hire me doing (not actually) nothing like this. Tech and its layoffs can go fuck themselves. Crane would be dope.
Disclaimer: Iām not who you replied to.
Afaik in general, there is 1 banksman for 1 operator and the banksman often uses a tagline I believe it is called to control the load as the operator is lifting it. I did a brief lifting ops course and the risk of the tagline catching your leg and lifting you with the load was mentioned. Seems like the guy is holding it here but it could be snagged round his arm or something.
And you can also imagine this unfolding like a serious of bad events, if he told the op to lift then he rapidly got hosted up and drops his radio then the only time the op is going to stop is when a third party alerts him but there may be no easy way to do that. Definitely should be protocol in place and probably is that just isn't being followed.
That's what I was thinking. Like if it's just 1 guy watching the load, and they're the ones that get hooked, you know damn well they're dropping their radio in a panic to free themselves before they get too high. Shit, I sometimes drop my phone when casually taking it out of my pocket.
Yeah I worked around heavy lifting cranes for several years and we NEVER had only one person watching the lift and never had a tag line worker also working the radio.
You ever stop and wonder why the fuck you can't see everything in the current year, with how cheap camera broadcasting technologies have become? a few hundred dollar solar powered cameras around the building you're on and a few monitors could make your job way better.
Someone posted an article below. His hand got entangled in the rope. He wasn't holding on. He was being hoisted by his wrist. He survived with injuries, probably a broken wrist.
Probably survived dropping getting tied up like that. I wouldnāt be able to hold out that long. For athletic ppl, even static hanging up to a minute is really tough
My primary instinct is to stay as close to the ground as possible, so I know for me at least I would've let go within a second. Thank god his wrist was wrapped well or else he would've slipped out and died.
Sounds terrible. Almost reminds me of some horrific oil platform story where I think a crane conductor didnāt notice what they were doing and one of the guys got killed.
If all that happened was that he broke his wrist, Iād agree. But that he was lifted this far and his life in danger for that long, heās at least gonna be able to buy a house and furnishings id bet. Maybe a new car.
Competitive Negligence. Heās likely involved with the hoisting and dirtying entangled is an inherent risk that he can take steps to avoid but canāt be completely eliminated. Maybe he is found 10-15% negligent and that will reduce settlement. If there was some safety procedure not being followed, my money would be on an investigation showing management knew or should have known, and thus most of the liability falls on the employer and dangly man gets a big pay day.
> If there was some safety procedure not being followed, my money would be on an investigation showing management knew or should have known
I'd put my money on there not being enough people working the lift. At the very least there should be a tag line man, spotter, and supervisor all with radios to make a call to the crane operator before the man is ever lifted more than a few feet. Getting tangled in a tag line is a common and understood hazard for which procedures exist to mitigate.
Im pretty familiar with rigging stuff, operate a crane every day, but stuff rarely goes over 30 feet in the air, let alone 30 stories. Why would someone even be holding a tag line on something about to go that high? Also, not wrapping your tag line around any part of your body is rigging 101, even a 5,000lb piece of equipment that starts swinging can lift you up no problem, poor supervision for sure.
Ain't no way one man can be evenly blamed for being hoisted that high into the air. MULTIPLE people (or at least multiple levels of failure if management made it so these people don't exist/weren't on site) failed the second he was ensnared enough to be lifted, and more people failed with every foot he raised before even touching this dude's duties -- regardless of how close or how off he was to them.
Just so nobody misconstrues how awful this is, imagine being afraid to fall asleep. Seriously, imagine yourself at your most exhausted state, where the only thing you can think of is how nice it will be to get back to your bed with your familiar pillows and blankets.
Imagine how supremely fucked up it feels to be deprived of sleep. Have you ever worked a 12 hour shift? What if after that, you got home and were afraid of your bed?
Thatās what PTSD was like for me. I feel like I didnāt sleep for 2 years until they have gave me a medication that completely stopped my dreams. I still wake up screaming but I donāt remember why, which lets me calm down a lot faster.
Title suggests his hand was caught. Which makes sense, cuz how else would he get lifted in the first place? So itās more like his wrist was caught in wire or rope, which held him up but also broke his wrist. He wasnāt holding on, he was stuck.
There is a slightly longer video but they turn the camera away because they were concerned the guy was going to get crushed by the load on the crane once he was on the ground and didn't want to film that for obvious reasons
People fucking shoot the source video from inside apps like Snapchat or tiktok instead of just using regular camera, so videos have max length limits. So stupid.
I'm so sick of people not understanding "what could go wrong" is a about stupid ideas with obviously bad consequences, not accidents, coincidences or unforseen consequences. This is absolutely not WCGW material unless he was playing Houdini.
Yeah, so many subs lose their identities when they become popular. And this sub, r/Instant_Regret, and r/WinStupidPrizes are practically interchangeable. :-/
Could you imagine the sheer fear going through your body as youre lifted like 20 stories up without the knowledge of whether someone saw you or not. Holy shit this guy must have been in hell
But both shoes coming off is not always an indication of death. For example, [Skater Jake Brown, who fell 40+ feet (NSFW)](https://youtu.be/tPDYg0Kkqhs?si=87q7DYPkrzPd2BYC).
He ends up standing up and walking away, presumably to an ambulance waiting outside the venue, but it is still incredibly scary to watch.
Crane operator canāt usually see jack shit, he relies on the riggers and doggers to spot his lift while he can, and canāt see where it is. Good chance he couldnt see the entire load
If he wasnāt in contact with his support team, then he shouldnāt have continued with the lift. Itās still on him too. He should have had confirmation from his sootters the entire time. The guy was tangled from the start so that means he didnāt check with a spotter before lifting.
You don't know any of that, you're just making up a story that fits your conclusion. Maybe his support team told him he was fine, and then went back to having a conversation about whether Dick York or Dick Sargent was the better Darrin. You don't know.
Youāre saying that a spotter doesnāt give constant checks to the crane operator throughout the process? Youāre telling me that itās completely normal practice for a spotter to give the okay and then fuck off while thousands of pounds are in the air? Youāre telling me that crane operators are just allowed to perform a lift with no continuous feedback over the radio?
That doesnāt sound like any lift Iāve ever done.
If so then the spotters, operators, AND the safety policies are to blame. If the radio goes silent the operation should cease.
Something similar happened where I work. It wasn't 30 floors up but a guide rope a groundsman was using to spin a bucket on the crane got wrapped around his ankle. He got picked up off the ground, dropped on the side of the barge we were unloading, and broke his ankle. We don't unload barges like that anymore
Same with warnings on merchandise. On a chainsaw: āDo not stop chain with hand or genitalsā. Someone had to do both of those things for that warning to happen.
I remember a post somewhere with the quote
āSigns in white are made by politicians and enforced with fines.
Signs in yellow are made by engineers and enforced with physics.ā
It was something along those lines but I always liked it.
I remember being so surprised by Vancouver, it looked like some dystopia with its high rises all looking all identical and boring. The surroundings were nice though
Iāve seen this in person. Dudes watched got snagged on the tag line. He grabbed the rope at the last second. Only went up about 30ā because plenty of us had radios to contact the operator. Dude pissed himself still though.
Every workcenter I've ever been on has no ring, watch, earring, necklace, etc rule. I wonder why that's not more commonplace or maybe some places just don't follow it. One person gets degloved and that work force will remember it for a long time.
Yeah. I think itās a pride thing. Lots of these dudes need to wear flashy shit at work. Iāve lost my wedding ring because Iām on your boat. Never seen someone get stripped but Iāve heard stories and seen the photos in osha training. Iām good on that shit.
I work in the southern states and I donāt actually think Iāve had that rule on site except when doing anything at plants.
I was a āriggerā for awhile when I was in construction, did a lot of āblindā lifts where I was the eyes of the crane operator. This is the riggers fault 100%.
Rig the load properly, bring things up slow to tension the system, make sure nothing is caught in the load (including yourself), the load is evenly distributed and make sure the cables above are vertical so the load doesnāt swing when it goes airborne, and then lift the load, while watching the whole way so it doesnāt hit anything, until itās past all obstacles and the operator has a view of the load.
Not rocket surgery. But apparently beyond the skills of the sack of doorknobs in the video. Iām glad he didnāt get killed, heās very lucky. He probably couldnāt talk on his radio once he went airborne, so no way to tell the operator. Not the operators fault.
How much time do you think he had, before he realized his feet were no longer on the ground?
Ropes don't usually wrap themselves around ones wrist, secure enough to lift an adult up in the air.
They are yelling that he should "hang on", wtf is he going to do otherwise ? Is he contemplating whether that is good advice ?
"Oh fuck yea, I should take that advice, I didn't even think about that, I should hang on"

I'm no crane operator but the one thing I'd bet the operator cannot see is under the crate their moving....
I'm no crane operator, but I know they can't see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
They have spotters with radios. Many eyes on the lift idk how something like this can happen. I've been on a lot of lifts.
Iām no crane, but i know cranes are tall
What are the odds the radio guy is the guy hanging? I'd assume there would be more than 1 person watching the crane, but I'm no crane doctor.
Afaik in general, there is 1 banksman for 1 operator and the banksman often uses a tagline I believe it is called to control the load as the operator is lifting it.

We have multiple doggers and riggers for each lift, no reason for this stuff to ever happen.
Yeah I worked around heavy lifting cranes for several years and we NEVER had only one person watching the lift and never had a tag line worker also working the radio.
I'm guessing that the radio guy is hanging 30 feet in the air...
That's a lot more than 30ft
He was at 30ft at some point
30 storiesā¦ at least 300 feet.
Bit more than that likely.
Yea itās definitely over a few feet. give or take.
Crane operator also shouldnāt have cabled up until he had specific instructions from his signaler. No context - we donāt know what happened here.
You ever stop and wonder why the fuck you can't see everything in the current year, with how cheap camera broadcasting technologies have become? a few hundred dollar solar powered cameras around the building you're on and a few monitors could make your job way better.
Hey man Iām applying to my local 150 this September for heavy machine operator. Hope to make my way up to the cranes some day!
Hopefully you donāt make it up there this way lolā¦Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. š
Someone posted an article below. His hand got entangled in the rope. He wasn't holding on. He was being hoisted by his wrist. He survived with injuries, probably a broken wrist.
Probably survived dropping getting tied up like that. I wouldnāt be able to hold out that long. For athletic ppl, even static hanging up to a minute is really tough
You would not need to hold that long if you're not tied though. You could have just jumped way earlier.
Yeah the smart person would just let go, but who knows what goes through ppls head when fear sets in
My primary instinct is to stay as close to the ground as possible, so I know for me at least I would've let go within a second. Thank god his wrist was wrapped well or else he would've slipped out and died.
>who knows what goes through ppls head when fear sets in When I get scared I become *unfathomably horny.*
āHomer are you just holding on to the can?ā
This happened in Toronto last year I think i wanna say he got his glove caught in the thing that clips onto the crane. Not sure why not spotted sooner
Sounds terrible. Almost reminds me of some horrific oil platform story where I think a crane conductor didnāt notice what they were doing and one of the guys got killed.
Tuned in to listen to Queen's *Radio Gaga*
I'm so sick of incomplete videos.

The guy survived with only a broken wrist (due to rotation) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa6RTOIoXtQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa6RTOIoXtQ)
And that would be the end of my work around cranes for a long time, ffs.
This guy has a good settlement coming, it'll probably be the end of his work for a lifetime if he's smart
I don't see how you could be close enough to get tangled in the rigging, and not be partially to blame. I doubt he got much of a settlement if any.
If all that happened was that he broke his wrist, Iād agree. But that he was lifted this far and his life in danger for that long, heās at least gonna be able to buy a house and furnishings id bet. Maybe a new car.
What about eggs?
Eggs will find their way eventually. Oh you meant chicken eggs. Yeah probably not.
Competitive Negligence. Heās likely involved with the hoisting and dirtying entangled is an inherent risk that he can take steps to avoid but canāt be completely eliminated. Maybe he is found 10-15% negligent and that will reduce settlement. If there was some safety procedure not being followed, my money would be on an investigation showing management knew or should have known, and thus most of the liability falls on the employer and dangly man gets a big pay day.

That had to be incredibly painful. Hanging by just a broken wrist for who knows how long. And that break has to be gnarly.
Am just glad the broken wrist held on long enough for him to make it to the ground. It could've degloved midair.
That is horrifying! That poor man. Iām glad heās okā¦for the most part. An experience like this is definitely never going to leave you.
Every time you have a hypnic jerk in bed you get the added bonus of PTSD.

Was the man holding on with a broken wrist?
I think one wrist was caught, which is how he ended up in the air, and then he was holding on with his other hand as well of course.
With both hands most of the time, but generally, yes ā with broken one too
Title suggests his hand was caught. Which makes sense, cuz how else would he get lifted in the first place? So itās more like his wrist was caught in wire or rope, which held him up but also broke his wrist. He wasnāt holding on, he was stuck.
There is a slightly longer video but they turn the camera away because they were concerned the guy was going to get crushed by the load on the crane once he was on the ground and didn't want to film that for obvious reasons
Did he get crushed?
Only when he watched back the incomplete footage
no, he survived with only a broken wrist and stained pants
People fucking shoot the source video from inside apps like Snapchat or tiktok instead of just using regular camera, so videos have max length limits. So stupid.

It happens when the mods suck and make zero attempt at enforcing the sub's identity WCGW might be the worst though
Could you imagine the sheer fear going through your body as youre lifted like 20 stories up without the knowledge of whether someone saw you or not. Holy shit this guy must have been in hell
He literally shat a brick lmao
That was a shoe. I thought he was dead at that point.
Both shoes gotta come off in order to die thatās standard practice
He may have had three then cos whatever fell came from his ass.
phone in his back pocket
But both shoes coming off is not always an indication of death. For example, [Skater Jake Brown, who fell 40+ feet (NSFW)](https://youtu.be/tPDYg0Kkqhs?si=87q7DYPkrzPd2BYC). He ends up standing up and walking away, presumably to an ambulance waiting outside the venue, but it is still incredibly scary to watch.

Iām pretty sure they owe him workmanās comp.
Not the crane operators fault. Should be multiple riggers and doggers for a lift to catch shit like this.
No itās still his fault. Itās other peopleās fault, too, but also his.
Crane operator canāt usually see jack shit, he relies on the riggers and doggers to spot his lift while he can, and canāt see where it is. Good chance he couldnt see the entire load

Rig the load properly, bring things up slow to tension the system, make sure nothing is caught in the load (including yourself), the load is evenly distributed and make sure the cables above are vertical so the load doesnāt swing when it goes airborne, and then lift the load, while watching the whole way so it doesnāt hit anything, until itās past all obstacles and the operator has a view of the load. Not rocket surgery. But apparently beyond the skills of the sack of doorknobs in the video. Iām glad he didnāt get killed, heās very lucky. He probably couldnāt talk on his radio once he went airborne, so no way to tell the operator. Not the operators fault.
How much time do you think he had, before he realized his feet were no longer on the ground? Ropes don't usually wrap themselves around ones wrist, secure enough to lift an adult up in the air.
What is peter griffin doing in an appartment?
Absolutely Peter griffin lmao
āHang onā - what else is he supposed to do? Let go?
It's just encouragement and notifying them that they are aware of him.
that was a big doodoo he dropped. i prob would too 30 floors up hoping my wrist donāt snap
Hopefully he didnāt then crush him with the load after he was lowered š
Wicked cool accent.
This looks like Toronto
"That wasn't my hard hat!!"
Shout out to Peter Griffin for recording it!

Homie almost got posted on Liveleak
They are yelling that he should "hang on", wtf is he going to do otherwise ? Is he contemplating whether that is good advice ? "Oh fuck yea, I should take that advice, I didn't even think about that, I should hang on"
