Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It seems there was a fall accident the other day.
Huh!?
That's what I thought, so I decided to bring it up.

The silver lining in this accident is that no one was seriously injured.
It's a miracle, isn't it?
But there’s one more miraculous thing happening.
This is the part where the rope broke.
Has anyone ever had a rope snap while working on a job?
I've never lost my temper.
Based on your experience, what do you all think?
It’s pretty rare for a main rope—one that usually doesn’t break even when it’s being rubbed hard against the edge of a mountain—to actually snap.
I don't know the details, but you should probably find out why it broke.
Realistically speaking, I can't help but think they were using a rope that was pretty worn out.
Even the rope that got caught up in the landslide didn't snap, did it...
By the way, since having two seats is the legal requirement these days, I wonder what will happen going forward?
It's tough for the general contractor.
It's scary to even think about things like, "Which manufacturer made that broken rope?"...
And if regulations keep getting stricter, it’s really going to make it hard to work, isn’t it?
Since working on slopes now requires the use of two ropes, let's take the necessary precautions!
See you later.
