^^^ That's why you don't gently caress with Polish TV They seem to be doing it in a covered/indoor pool. So if the dry ice failed to put out the fire (or kill them directly), the combustion would've used up all the oxygen anywa.

Acceptable if they show it when anyone with a pool buys dry ice and they explain people are basically fire too.

Gaj posted:like most people, probably, I only saw the video a bit cut off and assumed that rope was also his anchor and welp SHOOSH. The ropes have a steel mesh core and are rated to carry industrial sized roads. You could, in a very ill-advised pinch, use a climb rope to tow a car. Additionally, because of the core, it's incredibly difficult to cut through a rope with a saw. Though, should you strike your flip line with your saw, you're going to have to come down because A. Your saw is gonna be duller than church and B. You just put your very expensive climb rope completely out of commission. Though, when I was out there leading a fuels reduction crew, we were roping a tree over when one of our not very bright sawyers cut through through the rope (base tie). Cue about eight people falling flat on their asses and the tree crushing a fence.

Though, my caveat to my own post is that arbor crews do not give a singular gently caress about safety of any kind, and I've seen real morons climb trees with bull lines (basically, climb line:upwards of 5K-25k carrying capacity with a steel mesh core. Bull line: 2-3k with no core). There's a reason why a lot of people die doing arbor poo poo year after year. Last year, one poor arborist came out of a tree near a chipper. As he was getting out of his gaffs, his climb line got twisted in some slash. One of the chipper crew people picked up that piece of slash and put it in the chipper without realizing that the line was in the slash. The drum of the chipper caught the rope and basically yanked the arborist at about 50 mph directly into the chassis of the chipper, killing him instantly.

Just as a bit of balance to weigh against this horror, it is awesome to watch tree workers who know what they are doing, and are as safe as they can be about it. When I lived in North Vancouver, I watched a crew take down a huge douglas fir that was somehow left to grow in the tiny patch of unpaved earth between the parking lots for three low rise apartment buildings. The branches started above the height of my third floor balcony. They managed to chop up and lower the whole thing right next to the stump. I had no idea that was even possible before that.

The driver was in a situation where any action other than stopping immediately puts another human in immediate mortal risk, and he was repeatedly trying to make that WORSE by accelerating to highway speeds and trying to shake off a half-naked weirdo onto a busy highway or, just as likely, under his own wheels. If the driver feels like he's in danger from the tiny terrified half-naked filipino man on the hood of his huge locked metal box, he's a tremendous pussy. gently caress that driver.

I had a mature oak hit by lighting that strangely killed only some larger branches on one side and very top of the tree (lightning is weird). They rolled up in kick-rear end HUGE cherry picker, did all the rigging from the bucket (dude was strapped in), had two guide teams away and each at 45 degrees from whichever part was being removed. Cut from the bucket, and the cut section was slowly lowered to the ground. They also cut up all the removed wood into manageable 12-18 inch logs that I later easily split into almost 2 cords of firewood.

If he was truly scared imagine how much faster the cops could have reached a crime scene that was stationary

Ugly In The Morning posted:It’s not 100 percent benign or anything, but it’s also the kind of thing where if there’s a leak, the symptoms set in and make you GTFO unless it’s a high enough concentration to asphyxiate you. That’s true, but it doesn’t make it not poisonous. Lots of poisons are unpleasant, albeit not evoking the same visceral reaction as carbon dioxide. Jabor posted:CO2 is definitely poisonous, too much of it will kill you even if there's still sufficient oxygen in the air. Yeah the air can be twenty percent oxygen at sea level pressure, but if four percent of it is carbon dioxide, it’s lights out. Now for a good occupational safety yarn: quote:Oh, boy.

About CO2, this isn't OSHA but a personal anecdote from my misspent youth. Somehow some idiot acquaintance ended up buying CO2 cartridges instead of nitrous cartridges (we did a lot of nitrous sometimes). Out of curiosity and bravado I decided to see what it would be like to inhale a CO2 cartridge. We had those whipped-cream makers where you just fill the container with gas and then inhale it, if I recall - using balloons was something we moved on from pretty early. I took a big lungful and then experienced a weird sensation as it felt like my breathing reflex just turned off. It wasn't uncomfortable, and I don't remember getting light-headed or anything, it just felt like I didn't need to breathe. I exhaled and it passed in a minute or so and with no ill-effects that I can recall, but it was a weird feeling. If memory serves healthy breathing is more based on CO2 concentration than oxygen, so I assume the sensors just got flooded for a bit and didn't send the right signals. It did give me an object lesson in what I already was intellectually aware of, that dangerous gaseous environments can be really hard to sense and can sneak up on you.

In terms of their windshields there's not all that much difference. But it doesn't matter, and I'll fully concede that the man was an idiot to be panicked, because it turns out the early reports were wrong and the guy didn't have a metal implement of any kind, just his fists.
