The Crane Game

Mr. Shawn the crane operator rocks the workforce with WCSX!

Remember playing the crane game at the arcade growing up? This man somehow ended up playing it in real life, but with himself and hundreds of feet in the air.

High drama Tuesday in Toronto. A construction worker got tangled-up in a crane rope, and was left dangling high above the site. He was hanging on for dear life. And there was a huge box above him on the line. Thankfully the man is alright after safely landing on the platform below him. As you hear in the video, the men watching this from a far are scared to death at what could have happened to the man.

This really had me thinking, how in the hell did this happen and how will pay the price for the mishap? Also, what do you think was going through this mans head while is is dangling in the air like that? All I know is that I would be channeling my inner Tom Cruise and hold on for dear life.

All I know, is that this guy better be getting a long weekend and hopefully a few days more! I know I would not be working up in the air like that any time soon!

Comment below and let us know how far you have hung from or even fallen? I know a guy who fell 30 feet onto a metal pole, he got lucky and survived.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
