Not as cool as thrashing a Jag around a track, but cooler than hand digging a hole in the ground. ;)

The wire rope jumped off the pulley, and started pulling directly on the jib, which is why it bent, and the rope frayed.

Bad design if it allowed that happened.

Maybe overloaded? Looks like a lot of counterweight there
Anyway regardless another good skill to add to your CV

Yep, they reckon the crane's a write off, it's also bent the jib further along.
Along with this:
All unloaded, and ready for erection (no sniggers at the back please ;) )
Starting to go up
Then this happens :slap:
So, it all has to be taken down, and taken away, the replacement turns up the next morning, so take 2
And all ready to go :D
Never got time for a play on Friday, so I'll have to wait until Tuesday. :D
