We were offshore back in may; and there was a crewboat come up to the rife we were at.
I see a rope drop down...... Then a bag fly of the rig to the boat.... Then a dude slides down the rope!!!
That was crazy!!
Waves were 2-3 ft..... Guess he figured the rope was easier??

Good to hear they were not hurt. thank goodness they were not over the boat when it failed. that is why i prefer swinging on to boat.

They got back out this afternoon, and it hit them how close they came to getting seriously injured or killed. I have some troopers on my crew. Glad they're still here.
Can I get an AMEN!!!

They would still be cleaning that basket and putting booms on the water to catch the contaminates that I would have surely released instantaneously!!! That is my biggest fear!!! Back when I was on my tools, from time to time I would have to be lifted off of the crew boat onto the rig in that donut basket crap....My systolic blood pressure had to be 250+....I have goose bumps looking at the picture and imagining that....HOLEEE C_RAP....Guarantee you I would have been hugging expanded metal on the bottom of that basket like a cat screaming like a prom date with velcro undies....
