It 100% looks like this is his plan the whole time. You wouldn't be standing under the patches of snow, clearing little bitts if it wasn't the plan to have large batches fall all at once. You'd slowly work from clean patches to covered patches. I bet this guy's done this exact move 100's of times, just someone recorded it this time.
I grew up doing roofing (age 12-19) and safety lines on slick or high pitch roofs saved my life more times than I would like to think about. Give me a hot tar mop on a low pitch any day of the week but fuck a high pitch tin roof. That feeling of slipping on a slick surface then feeling the rope around your waste tighten is not a fun experience.
Looks attached to both sides. You can see a line in the beginning with the snow acting as the contrast, and he seems to be holding on to the line in the end.
Growing up doing roofing that safety line saved my ass a lot but when it happens and you know that’s the only thing keeping you alive it is not an enjoyable feeling.
I’ve fallen off roofs twice. Thank god it was a one story structure both times but yes I one hundred percent agree. The feeling of a safety line tightening and usually slapping you to your knees against a roof is much better than the fall.
It's probably like that feeling I got when I first went skydiving. The instant the canopy opened and the full force of my freefalling body yanked the harness and bounced me upwards, I was VERY AWARE that the straps that just made that snapping noise needed to not break for me to survive. After that split second, the fact that I was dangling from them thousands of feet up wasn't anywhere near as panic-inducing.
Exactly! It is a thankful vs anxious feeling. You know the hardware working cause you’re not dead but very much aware this hardware is the only reason. Also I was 12-19 years old when I was doing roofing so my immature brain fucking hated the feeling lol

my sphincter would not be on board with participating in any of this.

Awh, I thought this was the “Jesus Christ, that’s Jason Bourne” version. I am disappoint.

Guy just probably saved himself a broken back.

That can only happen if you give yourself too much slack

Not with the safety line that short.

I've never seen someone Looney Tunesing their way out of trouble where it actually worked.

he has a safety rope so the running just stoped him from getting knocked over

But without that rope you would not have to suffer that feeling more than once.

Having the safety line is what saved him.

I didn't even notice that to start with!

Right? I fell on a slate roof and slid into the ladder. Never again.

Thanks. The lack of pixels made me not notice first time. (although I did notice something odd about the way thru walked in place.)

Him walking it just stopped him from kissing the snow

It … should be attached to the other side of the roof.

Little more enjoyable than the feeling you'd get otherwise though, I suppose. Well, the sudden feeling and then lack thereof.

Get into climbing, you'll get comfortable with hardware keeping you alive quickly enough.
