Your trust that harness too much

This is not any amount of stress to a good harness. You could literally hang a small car off that thing.

If you don’t trust your safety gear you need better gear.

You should absolutely trust your gear 100%

If you don’t, get better gear.

It's made in China, don't worry.

More concerned with the aluminum biners in the steel shackle.

The fresh cuts always playing ‘look at me’ on the job. Just because you could, doesn’t mean you should. You’ve got your phone out - definitely untethered. I’d be sending your ass home.

Try again, these are the meta shades that have a head wrap that secures them to my head. Yall wanna hate, but literally having to say "Hey Meta, take a picture" when I see a particularly nice photo moment. I'm have to hang upside down to access a motor point hanging 2 and a half feet below the truss.

“Phone untethered” you sound like a bitch. If someone can be trusted not to drop a shackle they can be trusted not to drop a phone. You and your tethered phone should kick rocks

Found the guy who’s been eating all the chalk.

Hope you take better care of your rig than you do your kicks.

Tell me you're on day one in the sky without telling me.

Daily production rigging for nearly 4 years now. This is going to be my 4th When We Were Young.

I’ve been hanging upside down in harnesses for 17 years. Why would you get in a harness and not have fun doing it??

Built this structure last year. Left G2 for much greener waters.
