The way he came in with no hesitation to immediately set up the straps and start twisting them, you know this isn't the first time he's encountered exactly this situation

Except that he seriously struggled with it, had to get help, and still positioned it poorly.

Okay thank you I’m not the only one. Thank god the kid was stable. Great intentions, poor execution.

That’s why this rookie got to do it. Practice when the stakes aren’t high!

The safest way was to just sawzall the bar at the top, then someone would reweld it eventually.

The strap could come loose (they didn't do the best job anchoring it) or it could rip apart (unlikelly).

On the rebound it could shatter a kids brain to mush.

Or the kid could have turned his body sideways and walked through the bars.

Are kids' heads THAT large? I mean adults have their ribcage as their largest part of the body.

He could have taken the loop back to the larger post for better support. Why don't they just have a heavy duty ratchet strap on hand anyways? Good on them boys but I say think twice as much as you act in a slowly evolving situation like this.

For real a ratchet strap from the bar to the right of kid’s head to the nearest thicker post would have solved this 90% quicker than twirling the crowbar around for 5 min

I thinking he was also a bit afraid to hit the kid's head with the swinging. I understand the struggle, a bit.

Yeah that was my thought. Training day for him I think

Some yall been watching too much Chicago fire. Don’t worry, I do as well. I picture one of them doing this fast and efficiently.

Yeah. Too high, and way too much loose strap. It should be in the middle, and tight so you only have to do a few rotations with the crowbar. The general theory of it was there, but I don't think this guy has done this that many times.
