NEWKID 29,246 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Was craning up 60 odd meter long roof sheets, an aluminium system, we had 4 of us on the ground with guy ropes either end, me and brother either end with a lad making sure no knots in the line, it was at Exeter airport.. All of sudden the sheets swinging in mid air and the ropes being pulled through our hands at a rate of knots.... Let go, I shout at the lad, a loop had formed in the line, round his leg and he was dragged off his feet, knocks me over and then dragged behind this f***ing great sheet across the site ( like the old western films when they're dragged behind a horse lol), he hit the site fence, and i managed to grab hold of him, screaming at the crane driver, I had hold of him under his arm pits and his foot was out straight into the air... He's screaming to let him go as it hurt so much... I was sure he was gonna be pulled up into the air and away... Then it went slick and he dropped down.... I flew into the crane driver, I'd proper shit myself and was raging... It turned out Hed stalled the crane, and the wind had dragged the the jib around, my mate behind... It lasted no more than 10 seconds but f**k it scared me.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
