He was standing so close, it's a wonder it didn't eat him on the way
down. Lucky man. What a bummer! Good thing you replaced the cable
on your crane, huh? Well worth the price and aggravation/time.

I agree 100%. It was not even super expensive, just over $500 IIRC.
I was just using the crane yesterday.

I was just reading a thread on sci.engr.joining.welding (one of those several-year-old-recently-resurrected threads) from a guy who didn't exactly know what he was doing who was asking about welding a link in a hoist chain. It scared me some when I read it. Now it scares me more.

Let's be careful out there!

Could see it coming though, he was taking load off the little chain
falls, the drill wasn't moving, so SOMETHING was taking the extra load
- it ended up being the overloaded and deteriorated crane cable - - -

I'm sure it makes your salvage operation go much, much more smoothly
and easily.

I was watching the spare hoist chains moving and another sling
shifting but not yet touching, so I thought it was OK until BAM!
It hit the floor. Hearing him lament that "it was such an angle"
means that he knew that extra stress was on the device and that it
might happen. That's what happens when you don't listen to the little
voice inside telling you to be careful or to do something. I think
it's the Anti-Murphy Angel, if not your intuition.

That was what the electrician said after the short in the

Yes, and needing crane means I can ask for a lot more money.

At first, from the title, I thought this was in YOUR shop. Glad it was NOT!

There's a REASON they make you replace crane and elevator cables every year.
This guy now KNOWS why.

Emphasis on "think", I presume? Good man. I've found that working on
live 120/240 wires is generally OK as long as you wear (at least one)
nitrile gloves. It saves a lot of time and trips if you're careful
not to do any arc welding. AAMOF, you can tell the flavor of the
voltage by the little squeak you get when poking your finger on one of
the cut ends while your arm is grounded. g

Even w/o the drill hitting him- if he'd been on the other side and the sheaves thing hit him in the head he'd not be here- that baseball cap would have done nothing.
