Kinda sorta on purpose? Really? Cause I know when I'm rigging stuff, with homeowners usually present, passerby's (possible customers), and your crew usually within eye sight and ear shot; is to NOT kinda sorta purposely shock load any piece of equipment to its breaking point. Do you know why? Cause it's unprofessional, lawn or no lawn and it makes you look like a total a*s hat. I would like to see said video, just to see exactly how large this limb really was, how it was rigged, how it was controlled and if possible the actual condition of sling. If you f*** up just say you f***ed up, not this kinda sorta bullsh*t. Riggs at least had the balls to say he messed up and that he didn't do it kinda sorta on purpose.
P.S. You don't get any additional brownie points starting a sentence "From the bucket"

This is dangerously close to Besmudgery. There was probably NO WAY anything bad could have happened by the shock loading, as HE WAS in the bucket. Videotaping the event makes it easier to claim you F'd up on purpose.
I'm 99.9% sure your comments have just earned yourself an email to your employers about your blatant lies and misrepresentations.
Good luck with all that, you'll need it now that you've messed with the Dadio.
