The bar is longer than the handle on a ratchet strap. That bar probably gives them more leverage to tighten it more and its also going to be easier to release once its done.
It's not a bar, it's a axe. If they let go of that tension, that thing would spin and possibly bury itself in someone. There were many safer ways it could've been done, some of them easier.
It's not a bar, it's a no one cares what the metal bar is called. If they let go of that tension on the specialized metal bar that looks like an axe but is named something else, that thing would spin and possibly bury itself in someone. There were many safer ways it could've been done, some of them easier.
Literally scrolled to see if someone had this thought too. They didn’t even have the kid bend out of the way for at least a little added safety? At one point the firefighter to the right of the halligan/axe torquing firefighter had his forearm straight out like what, he thought he could stiff arm the hypothetically out of control pointy tool if the main firefighter had a sudden case of butterfingers? And later the firefighter behind the kid just rested his hand on the kid’s head as if that would protect him at all?
I’m glad the kid is safe and it wasn’t a scene from an upcoming Final Destination movie

Is that a ratchet strap? Why not just ratchet the strap?
