Some days it doesn't pay to go to work.
Tom Hoffman, how about a critical assesment here.

I'm no expert but my critical assesment would be gravity works.

Within the first ten seconds of the video I'm saying to myself "Hmmmm, a two part line, that must be pretty heavy". Next thing is <u>ALWAYS!!!!</u> carry the load close to the ground. If the load were to tip the crane, it would only be a little bit. Better to drop the load. And no one was watching the outriggers for stability?? This is kinda' like seeing those pix and videos from the guys from "Across the street" (which is no longer there) doing stupid stuff with their loader on Cub Cadets. Lemme' tell ya', even a little Cub Cadet on top of you will hurt you, and maybe even kill ya'!
