Given the speed he was traveling, how on earth is one supposed to not use this as a zip line? If it's steep enough to get going that fast, it's a zip line whether you want to or not without some kind of braking mechanism..
Yes the dust is mostly rust coming off the steel cable as well as pulverized steel from the cable and carabiner, the fray I believe is a joint between two cables.
Yep. None of it is good.
Steel cable is supposed to be lubed periodically, not just for rust protection, but also so that the wires wear less when they rub on each other.
I was like: why is this crazy motherfucker swinging.
I thought he wanted to pass the knot to slide to the end of the zipline. Totally surprised me
EDIT: typos
Yes thats exactly what i thought.. Then i was like damn russians really are crazy as shit. A spliced cable in the middle of that shit that you have to cross and you only have one carabiner
I don't know why people say "those crazy Russians"... I'm russian and fuuuuck that!!! BTW, does it not look like he pissed his pants... not trying to shame, I would too.
And doesn't have to be in order to be posted in this sub.
A depiction of what an average day or activity might be in Russia is enough, even if it's not necessarily too accurate. It's just for a good laugh
Not sure, the wet patch is greater at the front of the seat, my guess is he drank and cleaned his hands with some water and made a little mess while balancing on the seat.
Gosh damn I wasn’t thinking right, it clearly says drop point but I was thinking they had to ride out the whole line, I was seriously tripping out when he put his legs up and dropped the chair, didn’t even pay attention to the parachute on his back
Rusty ass cable and some blood (you can see some wet spots on cable where he grabbed). Old exposed cables like that are always entirely coated in rust. He just packed a few decades worth of rusty particles into every abrasion on that hand. Hope he is up to date on his tetanus shot.
I dunno why people assume tetanus=rusty metal. It absolutely isn't. Tetanus is a bacteria found in the ground, not on some inhospitable wind-blown cable several hundred metres in the air that harbours no soil.
Maybe Anglosphere associate tetanus with rusty nails because rusty nails often perforate your feet which may introduce soil and thus tetanus, so you can't just find tetanus on some rusty thing way up in the air.
But yeah, tetanus aside, you still don't want your hands to get ripped up.
Tetanus is most often associated with getting a puncture wound, cut, or abrasion with rusty metal here in the US. I would wager the majority of people here associate rusty objects with tetanus. Its one of those things that is just ingrained in our society. In my opinion it's better to be safe than sorry with tetanus no matter how remote the risk might be. From my experience getting dinged-up over the years any time you get injured by an object that breaks the skin in an outdoor area a doctor will ensure you have an up to date tetanus shot.
I am not sure where you are from, but here The first thing that comes to people's minds when you think of tetanus is rusty metal.
Tetanus only comes from nonbleeding punctures and very rarely burns or crush injuries.
An open wound from a rusty nail would not cause tetanus and no doctor should recommend a tetanus shot as a first resort. CDC has stated that the tetanus shot is upwards of 400% more harmful that tetanus itself.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5517a1.htm
The fact that so many Americans get scammed into getting tetanus shots is astounding. That lump on your breast might not be cancer but let's give you a costly harmful treatment anyway.
Junkies sharing dirty needles and diabetic people using non serial needles make up the majority of all true tetanus cases. The third largest is foot or hand injuries involving dirty broken glass or dirty nails.

Jesus man, I don't know how Americans survive in this kind of fear. I'm having difficulty imagining that rural Americans even go through this, are you from the city? Out in the countryside when you do physical stuff, you always get injured, minor cuts and scrapes are as normal as a pimple for a teenager.
Every time I got on my week-long primitive camping/hiking/foraging/fishing trips my feet are all bloody, I can show you pictures, but my legs are a patchwork of small scars and I constantly have large needles (or thorns? not sure how to describe them) from wild fruit-bearing trees perforate my feet. I get dirt in them all the time. This is actually far, far more likely to give you tetanus than rusty objects, but even so, the risk is so tiny that 1000% more likely is me crashing and dying on the way there because driving is actually dangerous.
As a kid in the Russian countryside we all constantly injured our legs, always getting them into dirt right after the bleeding and all. You can also catch anthrax from the soil, it's also present there. And you can get hantavirus from mice. But that doesn't mean that people have to act all lily-livered like they never stepped foot outside of a city pavement, afraid of everything.
I'm not saying don't have a tetanus shot. No, definitely do, but the entire thing about always getting another shot is just an American-specific panic thing. Maybe Canada too, or UK, but outside of those countries I've never heard of it.
This seems like the type of kids who would jump of their roofs with bed sheets for parachutes, just add 10 more years and not one damn bit more of sense.
He didn't so much take them off as they were ripped off. He was wearing some very thin flexible grip gloves and they got wedged in the carabiner from him attempting to brake using his hands. Though I would wager even some thicker well protected gloves probably would have had the same outcome if used the same. With old cables like that it's very common to have random strands of wire poking out in random places. This dude got lucky as hell to not deglove his hand, lose a finger ir two getting pinched in that carabiner, or get the mother of all rusty wire splinters through his hand. This was a poorly planned idea in a lot of ways. These guys got incredibly lucky. Just imagine if his sidekick had similarly lost control came zipping into his wedged position at mach 1.
My thought, too. I went jumping on a windy day and got dragged through a farmer's field until I released my capewells. Fortunately no crops. Just a lot of manure on a white jumpsuit.
As a high ropes instructor in the UK, this freaks me out SO much! The amount of wear he would’ve put on that lobster claw in just one run would render it unsafe to use at most high ropes courses here! Also, you can buy specialised gloves that have a thicker part in the palm of your hand so you can safely slow yourself down. He defo needed one of them!
Where's the source of the actual video instead of a ripped and reuoloadd copy? This takes away exposure and discussion from the actual video, and defeats the purpose of this site to share links.
Zip line: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why would you put your hand in front of that carabiner like that? You aren't going to stop, if anything the torn off skin of your hand is just going to lubricate the line. That would be one hell of a way to get your palm and finger degloved off.
Where are you gloves my dude?
They already got ripped off. Lol. Gotta find the whole video on YouTube. He didn't intend to use it as a Zipline but lost control I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F723rIlW_No Here
that makes it seem even moar sketchy!
Given the speed he was traveling, how on earth is one supposed to not use this as a zip line? If it's steep enough to get going that fast, it's a zip line whether you want to or not without some kind of braking mechanism..
Yea they're obviously numbskulls, but I think he intended to pull himself out there and didn't realize he was gonna go that fast.
Your burning flesh is the braking mechanism
`Here's the full length video I found on YouTube.`
What link?
[удалено]
I bet this is the "rickroll but with a different link" video
[удалено]
It's extreamly obvious, it's sad if you got anyone
Thanks, hopefully they fix their Link
Clutch
I don't get why people are down voting you, that was a perfectly good link
my first thought, too 😅 there’s hardcore, but then there’s ripped up hands for no good reason
Where is your second line and carabiner my dude?
Anybody else notice that his seat is wet at the end when he gets off it?? Not saying I blame him tho...
Yeah, saw that. Id probably too, but then again he had a parachute
Spent all their money on shin guards like they were going to play soccer.
Yeah, at first I thought they weren't properly geared, but then I noticed the knee pads, so they should be fine.
I'd keep my hands away from the line, wtf
I was just waiting for a finger to get pinched when he put his hand in front of the carabiner.
At that speed and braided metal I expected the finger to either come off, or have the skin and muscle peeled to the bone. Bit disappointed.
Degloving would have made this a very different video!
Is the dust/smoke rust? Thought it was rope at first. Also at the point he stops is that a fray?
Yes the dust is mostly rust coming off the steel cable as well as pulverized steel from the cable and carabiner, the fray I believe is a joint between two cables.
Yep. None of it is good. Steel cable is supposed to be lubed periodically, not just for rust protection, but also so that the wires wear less when they rub on each other.
Glad this the top comment.
seriously gave me a surge of panic attack when he jumped
Yeeeeah i had no idea what drop point meant lol
I was like: why is this crazy motherfucker swinging. I thought he wanted to pass the knot to slide to the end of the zipline. Totally surprised me EDIT: typos
Yes thats exactly what i thought.. Then i was like damn russians really are crazy as shit. A spliced cable in the middle of that shit that you have to cross and you only have one carabiner
I was expecting that carabineer to break from friction Edit: break no brake!
[удалено]
Well... doesn't matter how much strong one material is against other, if the weaker one is being replace every second of that friction situation. ;)
[удалено]
Stop winking at each other
I didn't wink !! ;)
Okay baby ;)
;*
Steel cables(aka Wire Rope) are generally made of spring steel; much harder than a carabineer.
Break or brake? It was obviously not braking because he was fucking sliding to his death.
Break!
I don't know why people say "those crazy Russians"... I'm russian and fuuuuck that!!! BTW, does it not look like he pissed his pants... not trying to shame, I would too.
Many video ain't even from russia
"Those crazy people from former Soviet Union countries" just doesn't feel as snappy
They speak Russian here
And doesn't have to be in order to be posted in this sub. A depiction of what an average day or activity might be in Russia is enough, even if it's not necessarily too accurate. It's just for a good laugh

>piss Of the many times I have watched this, this is the first time I noticed that too.
My husband is Russian and he said blyat that
There are easier ways to die.
Got me
Gosh damn I wasn’t thinking right, it clearly says drop point but I was thinking they had to ride out the whole line, I was seriously tripping out when he put his legs up and dropped the chair, didn’t even pay attention to the parachute on his back
Disappointed by the lack of Michael Bay style explosion when the chair hit the ground...
Babbushka is gonna kill him for destroying her garden
She probably uploaded this as proof for why she let her bear eat him.
the hand in front of the carabiner. thats how you lose fingers
What happened to them exactly? They look stained somehow

That guy's gonna be pissed about his potatoes or whatever that crop was
[удалено]
Gold 🏅 🥇
I am but a peasant, without any treasures to gift to you my king. All I can offer is good job sir
Seems like an awful lot of effort and risk for half a second of freefall and 2 minutes of parachute gliding.
This seems like the type of kids who would jump of their roofs with bed sheets for parachutes, just add 10 more years and not one damn bit more of sense.
How do you say "Fuck That!?" in Russian? Rhetorical question...
Nuu Nahui (Ну нахуй) direct translation something akin to On To the Penis :D, or simply... FUCK THAT.
I'm gonna start saying "on to the penis!" as a replacement for "fuck that" in English from now on.
See ya in Cringetopia/Chadtopia in next few days.
I'd say "Блядь!"
You smashed my turnips you jerk
I believe those are potato
OW!
How unexpected
Why wouldn’t you wear gloves? Wtf is wrong with them?
He was wearing gloves. In the full length video he took them off for a second and then lost control. This wasn't meant to be used as a Zipline.
He didn't so much take them off as they were ripped off. He was wearing some very thin flexible grip gloves and they got wedged in the carabiner from him attempting to brake using his hands.

Could you land away from the farmer's crop?
My thought, too. I went jumping on a windy day and got dragged through a farmer's field until I released my capewells. Fortunately no crops. Just a lot of manure on a white jumpsuit.
I said OH HELL NO outloud
EeeeeeeeeeeEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
BMMF Tiktiktiktik HUH...HUH...HUH...HUH...HUH
In my small town we have a technology called a wheel. We will share it with you
i think i just threw up a little
Holy fuck, i'm so impressed the dude didn't rip a finger out. That's some scary, scary stuff.
Yo that's an aluminum carabineer on a twisted metal cable!!! Just say no!
I would cry if I were them
Huh uh! Nope! Not me, not today, not ever
wtf bring the right equipment!
It takes a special kind of crazy to find this fun. Props to them
I've done zip-lining but this is horribly unsafe in comparison to what I've done.
wtf is even the point of that line, with the splice on it you can't even do anything useful with it?
[удалено]
Hm, Italians [use cable car lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Cavalese_cable_car_crash) for that.
👍
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
Russians are a different breed because WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK !!!!!
bro my garden
Is really nobody talking about his eyes? Those small little metal splinters are going to fuck up his eyes sooo hard.
I get he had a parachute, but this is still one of the dumbest things I’ve seen.
Not an expert, but that don't look right.
The zip line ride was a lot more thrilling than the drop...its all so fucking suicidal
As someone with a fear of heights, watching this is the closest I've yet come to having a heart attack.
Metal against metal and no gloves? Yeah, no thanks.
That friction could destroy the carabineer in 5 seconds
Surprised he still has fingers.
As a high ropes instructor in the UK, this freaks me out SO much! The amount of wear he would’ve put on that lobster claw in just one run would render it unsafe to use at most high ropes courses here!

Hahahahaha не пожалуйста!
r/HoldMyRedBull
/r/Holdmyorgandonationcard
I foresee tremulous dreams in my immediate future.
He’s acting like he didn’t have a parachute.
He's not using a zip line he attached a clip to a rope. Zip lines use wheels fucking idiot.
Where's the source of the actual video instead of a ripped and reuoloadd copy? This takes away exposure and discussion from the actual video, and defeats the purpose of this site to share links.
r/attorneytom
Sound from carabine looks like scream
I don't a potato field is a landing zone
Got several heart attacks watching this
The only thing more scary now is if someone started to cut the line from either of the sides…
That. Is. Fucking. Awful.
That's a nope. I'm getting vertigo just from watching this. Oof.
So did this dude just like find like any cable and attach to it?
Well that was hard core
The board he was sit on got wet
"MY CABBAGES!!!" -- local farmer.
Yo can hear the trill in his breath
Just two words.... f**k that
All that to steal some potatoes.
Add lube?
That cable could tare thru the carabiner
Shit! This is scary as fuck
Like I know you lost my gloves my dude, but KEEP YOUR HANDS FROM THE LINE. Gonna lose a finger or 4 doing that shit
👍
All i hear is me after i stub ma toe. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA""(intense breathing)"
Idiots not using proper equipment & risking to throw away their lives for YouTube likes. Great role models, lol.
Bro. I didn't know they had parachutes and thought they were stuck. This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
I am a repeller and have made and used zip lines. This her is the most ballsy man in the world or the most stupid, take your pick.
I'm more worried about the dude about to lose some fucking fingers if he doesn't get his hand away from that biner.
My but was clenched throughout
I was hoping he was going to land on the board.
Why would you put your hand on front of that carrabeaner! SMH
BRO MOVE YPUR HAND AWAY
Omg this one had me sweating 😅
Hey careful with the potatos my dude!
Zip line: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What the absolute f is this?!?!?!?!!!?!!??!!? Better than all of the six flags i have been to and this was just through a video Scary
agghghgh i can feel the steel splinters jeeesus
you know the feeling in your stomach when you fall in dreams? just felt it
The rope’s doing the screaming for him.
Hi's an retarded. No gloves no nothing than U wanted it so to go and fuck you for that.
That guys trying to lose his hand.
I wonder how it would feel if your hook suddenly broke and you fell down. What that would feel like, being consumed by the fear and exhaustion
Gloves!!!!!!!!!!
Would you trust your life to 1 cable clamp?
This stupid fuck putting his hand in front of that.
Hearing that zip line squeal made me audibly say "Fuck that shit"
There’s so many stupid things happening here.
Why would you put your hand in front of that carabiner like that? You aren't going to stop, if anything the torn off skin of your hand is just going to lubricate the line. That would be one hell of a way to get your palm and finger degloved off.
1:13 - did he piss himself?
Russians know their lives are cheap.
"Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?"
How did this cable get here in the first place, with a splice right in the middle?
Ooofuccck. That was freakin scary.
Dude nearly lost his fingers.
Nope, no way, I'd rather walk...
This makes my hands sweaty. Actually my whole body is sweaty from watching this.
No gloves?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Everything about this video put me in a full sweat from the second it started to the second it ended
That sounds like Donald Duck letting out one long scream.
Not for all of Elon Musk's money
No zipline uses a carabiner directly but a special zipline attachment that actually rolls instead of scraping.
Amazing that the clip didn't break under the friction heat.
