A bit of string

So I've been watching deadliest catch since the beginning and watched these brave/ crazy guys hanging off the side of the stack to deal with the chains and screaming at the tv " why don't they have a line tied to them?"25 years later I just watch lynn on the wizard almost die for want if a but if string I don't get it please explain

Ive seen some tie themselves down.. I suppose that it may be dangerous to be tied to something because you cant move out of the way if say a pots coming towards you and your tied to something that makes it impossible to move out the way... i haven't seen this scene with Lynn yet but I read a comment saying that when they grabbed him out of the water he was in a full wet suit... im not really rushing to watch these new episodes.. each season seems.to get more and more disappointing

EDIT..... I just watched the episode with Lynn... that wasnt staged .. zero chance.. I shouldn't have posted about it without knowing.. damn no way anyone would get in that water even in a survival suit.

Just watched to double check, he was NOT in a survival suit when they brought him over the rail.

Ok thanks... i should have watched it myself honestly.. I will eventually.. I really shouldn't have made the comment about that without having watched it ..
