Interesting. I saw the video with no explanation and was somewhat skeptical. I searched and found an article about it. Climb starts about the 1:40 mark. Article about it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...ing-WOODEN-POLE.html Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHJZNFKksBs “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | ||

Pretty amazing, but seems like an unnecessary risk for both the guy 30' up without fall protection and the guys lifting are vulnerable to gun fire. The guy is pretty FUBAR if the lift team drops him while taking gunfire.

Yeah, not sure of the practicality of it, but it did look pretty cool and that's what matters, right? Right??  “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Did they bring that pole with them, or did they make it on site around the corner before the video started? | |||

Would be SO easy for the climber to lose traction-- 100 different ways in a real life situation. But definitely looks cool.  ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

A number of the tactical teams in Asia have demonstrations like this. Recall seeing a Korean team repel down with the rope tied to their feet. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

That's because they aren't true operators. Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you. | |||
