Is two 1t slings the same as one 2t sling?
Or will this cause a failure in the system, should one sling fail, then the remaining sling becomes overloaded?

[Myrmwyrm]

I can’t help but notice the channel doesn’t exactly have a playlist or even a video breaking down some of the more complex trigonometry that is involved with proper load balancing & measuring.

I also haven’t seen anything specific about stage rigging and I’d be very interested in that

Testimonial: lift & rig taught me ESL

[elgoblino]

all i can say is where i work the rules and the safety enforcement are very strict as they should be, the problem is this site is huge. and it so happens to be my place of work is on the outer fringes of it. and boy can i say almost none of these rules are adhered to. everything that was thought to me, i saw all these things immediately violated.

[AtTheHandle]

You look exactly like the dude from the movie Rampage

[happenstancially]

The reason I nearly fell asleep in my first class was the semi-monotone, teleprompted way of speaking.

Good info, but the presentation is a bit stiff
