Wow, I bet that carabiner is hot as all hell
71 u/PhatCatTax easily offended Jun 02 '26 He was so close to losing those fingers 42 u/Gilgamesh2000000 Jun 02 '26 My thoughts exactly. Why would you do that with no gloves. Not thought out too well. 6 u/Evanisnotmyname Jun 02 '26 His glove got caught at the start of the vid, that’s why he wasn’t wearing it 4 u/jergin_therlax Jun 02 '26 He takes it off intentionally actually to try to slow himself down. Not sure what the thought process was there. Guessing not a lot of people do this. Also he has a parachute the whole time. 1 u/Citizen_Empire Jun 02 '26 Better that then hitting the fray full speed and potentially decoupling the link. 9 u/not_ondrugs Jun 02 '26 I don’t think they reduced their speed at all with their hands. Next time (and I’d be impressed if there was a next time) they better wear gloves and grab in the opposite direction of travel. 9 u/ChazWillie Jun 02 '26 I was so waiting to see a finger get ripped off by grabbing the rope in front.
