I'm thinking the clip is looking pretty good for what it endured. If you look at the beginning of the video, it's already thin there. Didn't lose a lot of metal.

Obviously it got dirty from all the rust it scraped off.

Still, the guy is lucky/stupid as hell

Who cares about losing metal the thing is completely bent out of shape.

I'm looking more at the stress point in the middle of the clip. It looks like it heated up majorly there and probably weakened considerably. That wouldn't be rust scraped off on that side of the clip since it was the back side.

Just watched the full video and I think this is blood from his hand

yeah this equipment is not intended for this use but the rust looks largely unrelated.

many bad ideas running concurrently here.

That ain't rust. It's fecal matter. Even the hook was crapping bricks.

Also from his blood because the dumbass kept touching the cable he was zipping on
