Bloody Hedgehog posted:Lotta danger-cringe when I watched the same video earlier. I saw him get a ladder after I made my post and it was super wobbly and he was leaning waaaay over the side. I mean, I've done stupid poo poo like that, but never on camera for the whole world to see. And I've stopped because I've realized I live alone and don't wanna be found dead a week later. Edit: someone in the comments said it's a sign of a true pro that he does things that "look dangerous to a layman".

Wingnut Ninja posted:I think this was mentioned in one of the Deviant Ollam elevator videos that's been posted here before. In most elevators if the penultimate safety stop triggers it will disable the entire elevator until a technician comes out to reset it, because that stop should never be hit unless there's something drastically wrong. The red 'oh poo poo' button that's actually on the pendant physically on top of the elevator? Yeah, that's one that if pressed, had a very good reason to be pressed. Or was it the 'floor limit' 'overtravel limit' 'stop limit' 'oh god you're about to go crunch limit' and then the car is romantically entwined with the cable support frame?

Factor of safety for shipping rigs and ground support equipment is like 5x gravity load. Cranes could be built with strain gages and frangible bolts so that if the crane detects overload for its setting the system blows the bolt and brakes the hoist winch so you can't retract the cable, but you can still take it back to a licensed dealer for an easy repair with proprietary tools. Of course some jethro will find a way to defeat that.

Safety factors are often really high also because engineers have to account for the fact that machinery will get abused over its lifecycle and critical maintence will often be poorly done or ingnored entirely until something breaks and is fixed with a rough patch job. That safety margin of 5 it has out of the factory can shrink but a lot before it hits the scrapyard, and even if the manufacturer can righly say that it's the operators fault for not maintaining the equipment to standard its still not a good look when your product kills someone.

I remember that video, it's the final limit switch. Basically the final mechanical switch that can be tripped at the top of the shaft. If the car has traveled that high it's just assumed that you want it to be out of service until a technician comes to repair and reset it. https://www.thyssenkruppelevator.com/webapps/classroom-on-demand/LessonViewer.aspx?lesson=16133

Samuel L. Hacksaw posted:Isn't there a load vs extension vs angle chart that literally tells you exactly what the crane can and cannot do? Wouldn't it be possible to have a weight sensor and automatically limit the extension and angle from going into unsafe positions? Maybe even put in some gauges that show the operator how close they're getting to the limit. (I know that the answer is probably that something exactly like that exists and it gets overridden every single time.)

Dip Viscous posted:Wouldn't it be possible to have a weight sensor and automatically limit the extension and angle from going into unsafe positions? Maybe even put in some gauges that show the operator how close they're getting to the limit. It either gets overridden, or it breaks and the general attitude with construction equipment seems to be "does it still do what its supposed to do even though X is broken"? "It does? ok, good, we'll fix it after the next job". 47 jobs later its still "we'll fix it after the NEXT job".

That's why you make it actually physically break and disable a vital feature.

They're quite common here, but we do have an official bottling plant maybe in other countries it's different.

I walked out of the liquor store to my car and opened the bottle while in the driver's seat, only to realize the optics of what I just did. At least it was an orange soda.

I like the Musk Defenders huffing and puffing about "how do you know autopilot was on" Dude is 22, on a suspended license, and in a Tesla. He DEFINITELY told the cops "I wasn't driving with a suspended license! The car was driving itself!"
