In other words, you're losing in a game of wits, so you'll try in a
contest at the next thing you're no good at.

 

Oh, ---- you Jeff. I am not arguing with anyone who actually answers
my questions, I was only responding in kind to the moron Cal Wheeler
who has contributed ZERO intelligent answers and instead apparently
likes to make himself feel better by making fun of others. He has now
been killfiled so he is free to blather all he wants and it won't
bother me a bit.

That is not entirely true. You have argued with just about everybody here.
And, you have ignored responses from people that offered good information
but left the door open for you to gain even more information.

I watched them film a new version of the "what happens to line handlers" video in the 80's.
Quite an impression it made on me, working with the "larger than life" equipment, and
seeing it snap so easy! Some of the comments in this thread have made me laugh,
others have made me want to jump and shout!
Use care! From what I have seen, death may be the better option than a "slight" injury.
(life size,human "consistancy" manaquins, and the distance that the parts fly are first
and foremost in my mind with a chain/cable/rope in hand, as it should be in yours)
