OK so that was a bit disturbing. The cross like pole, the B&W footage, people dangling then falling. The finger in my ass.

Gravity kills.

And that was fall prevention training...

oops

the vid was funny. thats what could happen if youre off your "a" game. every job has risks, that is one that comes with climbing giant poles every day.
im having trouble interpreting the title - "Utility Worker Falls Tall Pole"

Why would they be filming that to begin with

It's a "hurt man" training session where you get a 200 lb. dummy off the pole.
This is not a tall pole, nor did he fell the pole (he fell down it), also this is not the proper way to get the dummy (nor yourself) down the pole.
Just sayin.
P.S. Hope you are well, bro!

Meh.
He'll be a lot easier to get to on the ground!

POLE DANCING............its usually safer on the ground is'nt it?

If I have to be rescued by this guy just give me a fatty to smoke & a .45 with one in the chamber, I'd rather end it MY way!

Let me guess. The first brilliant words out of this guys friends mouth were: "Are you alright dude?". I just hate friends like that. You fall 50 stories onto your ass and end up having to get your rectum surgically removed from your mouth and your awesome buddies want to know if you are OK. Like, FUCK NO I AM NOT OK, I LANDED SO HARD I HAVE FECAL MATTER IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT YOU FUCKTARD! Heheheh

Spiderman wannabe!!

whats a scarecrow doing up a pole? and why did they have to rescue it?

was that guy utilizing anything?

If this is some sort of training...wouldn't there be a bag at the bottom of the pole incase this happens? Man!
And by 'bag' I'm not refering to placing Susan Sarandon down there.

"Now hurry back up there Tim and hook it up , remember, black to black and red to red".......

nothing wrong here.......the right "DUMBIE" came down first .

Another pole dancing accident

they will sing 'unamazing grace' at his funeral

My girlfriend fell off my pole one time...its safe to say she wasnt injured.

When In Doubt.
Stand Faaaaaar Back.

the sky is fallin!!! the sky is fallen!!!! he takes the song, "its raining men" to a whole new level......hoorah for him

ILL CATCH U.

Workers Comp..

One word for ya dude.....VELCRO.

In some cultures this is how you become a man.
In other cultures this is how you die.
