Shirtless man is a bit too exhausted judging by his movements at the end of the video. He's at risk of doing something dangerous and not being able to recover quick enough to prevent injury

Looks like Mad Maxx workers working in the thunder dome stuff!
InablueMule
At least they are inside. Was talking to a former oil worker a few days ago. I think he said some of those old kellys are still around. I have been around some dangerous stuff but no to that!
DemSumBigAssRidges
I imagine the video ends before one of them loses a limb cause... fuck me this looks like a How To video for losing limbs.

It's almost like this is obsolete now or something to that effect. Fuck working this hard for anyone or anything.

I really think suspenders should be embraced more than they currently are.

This is not the way.

Correction, the lucky ones lose fingers or a hand. The unlucky ones lose a limb or their life.

Now to go online and declare yourself a hero, call someone a libtard, soup up your f350, drive to fort Mac and do lots of bad coke and sexually assault someone.

Sooom people say a man is made out of mud, a poor man is made out of mussel and blood, mussel and blood and skin and bones with a mind that’s weak but a back that’s strong.
You loaded 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don’t ya call me cause I can’t go; I owe my soul to the company store.

These type of jobs pay a lot don't they?
ARrocks
High school education can get you $60-80k a year. Do it long enough and you can work up to higher positions that can be in excess of $200k a year.

I broke back my mountain looking at this
InexplicablyAvailableUsername
what are they doing?
ARrocks
Oilfield geologist here. They are rig hands working on an oil rig. They are pulling drill pipe out of the ground and disconnecting it. At the bottom of all the pipe is the drill bit. The stuff covering them is called drilling mud, which is used to clean out the cuttings as they drill, keep the bit cool, and keep the hole stable. This is an older style of rig work that’s not done as frequently anymore, but is still around with smaller companies.

thanks
Spidey209
Look at them good 'ole boys. So proud of their OSHA violations. Showing us how real men do it. Such rousing stories at their funerals.
Hootykai
I salute hard working people and those that have to serve the public. Be as nice as you can to them, but not creepy. They make things better for us.

Bringing the good stuff

Small O&G guy here. If our emergency insurance company saw this, they would drop us. There are so many violations going on here.
llortamai
Seems like an odd choice to wear a necklace during this.
tokerator
It'll keep ya fit if it doesn't kill ya.
101Medic
Eh. You'll be fit at the time, but 2 years after you leave you'll be hobbling around like an old man only able to move semi-fluidly with the aid of modern pharmaceuticals.
Like all trades, it's great money when you're young but you *have* to have an exit strategy. Specifically one that doesn't involve buying a $100k truck and $30k motorcycle to park outside your trailer when it's boom times.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I talked to an older guy who did this work. He said it really isn't a hard job. You bust ass to add the shafts. But then don't do shit for an hour or more at times. It just depends on how the drilling is going.
stonecoldstevebuschemi
Or the mandatory coke habit you develop by working this job. The trades are f*cked.
Leithoa
Oh it'll kill you. It just might not be right away.
freakdiablo
Yeah. It seems like one of those jobs that gives you the body of a 70 year old for your 35th birthday.
Leithoa
Plus all sorts of cancer from the drilling mud & crude oil.

He looks knackered.
FrogBotherer
Not unlike doing OP's mum.
ARrocks
Lowland
Oh boy is he going to regret not wearinf more safety gear. This how it was done in the 80s
tyblu
Probably was wearing it until he got splashed, then gave up, plus saw opportunity for a sweet video.
FrogBotherer
If this were the 80s I'd expect him to be smoking a safety cigarette.
WizardofAnus
Nah, in the 80's, this was done by throwing chains around the spinning bit to slow/stop it so that it unscrews itself. Terrifying stuff. And frankly, most safety equipment in that job is as likely to be smooshed into your body as it is to save your life. The right answer is automation.
Lowland
Most roughnecks in the 70s and 80 could only order 7 beers at once using both hands
cattlegrazer82
It looks like he's well lubricated, at least.
Crispy4Skin
Draquez1
honestly if something goes wrong with that job 90% of safety gear will be useless anyway. Crush gloves would be useful if he slips and his hand ends up in the clamps tho.
Lowland
The fluid he has on his skin aint harmless
Draquez1
True.
Snooj
We're gonna need another Timmy.
Bloodsense
Interesting aside, I'm Electrician by trade, and over the last 20 years I've thrown numerous switches in an arc flash suit. A few week ago I went to look at a pre-bid and the switch gear had stickers all over it with huge letters stating "NO PPE EXISTS THAT WILL SAVE YOU". First I've ever seen that.
Snooj
I have a friend who lost a coworker that way. Work halted on the site for a couple days to clean up. It was an an airport and someone didn't lock a panel down.
Ignak
Almost happened to my co-worker, but he had rubber gloves
Snooj
I work in telecom and some of our Central Offices have large battery banks. I don't know if we've ever lost anyone but there are a couple places that hold memories of things like a wrench being where it shouldn't have been.
MaryAlicexoxo
Can anybody pls explain what he's doing there?
worldrecordstudios
just clankin around
Midioto
The pipe is spinning, the clamp stops one part of the pipe from spinning, so that it can unscrew itself and come apart.

Working for the man
Bunnies007
He's disconnecting the spong dongllitt so that the whuff flammer can rotate unimpeded. This in turn will allow a flum splitter to activate the wart bucket's worrier. I hope this helps.
OrThatsWhatTheySayAnyway
You left out the grozzle pre-culler before the flum splitter. Without that step the wart bucket recoupler can fail to attach securely to the crondle spade flange, causing the lateral frent nut to shear.
The whole assembly must be rebuilt, you're talking 5 or 6 days IF you're lucky.
Bunnies007
This is the Hokey Cokey 2000 model. The flum splitter is pre-grozzled making the pre-culler unnecessary. If you're unfamiliar with this model, it's worth bearing in mind that the the lateral frent nut is sheathed by a coddle hood to prevent shearing. It also boasts a twin vented slump slider that also acts as a contrafibulated gosh spanker when you engage the whacker lever.
OrThatsWhatTheySayAnyway
Oh, they must have switched from a helical gripcrimp to a circumferential type with cross clamp suction end cup. It was an elegant design but the tight sordicial groove tolerances was impractical in the field, especially with any fritzfield vibrational resonance transfer to the spanker bearing.
We exclusively run the Grundholtz Mastibulator mark IV, though we keep some mark II/III inventory with the whacker compatible rear kork scoop flute.
Bunnies007
Yeah, the helical gripcrimp is no more. Thoughts and prayers. They did experiment with a reflexive pole nose for a while, but it was found to lessen the efficiency of cord wangler which, I'm sure you will agree, is of upmost priority. I've never used a Grundholtz Mastibulator but I am the proud owner of one of their three-fold garp sozzlers. It takes a bit of getting used to but when you figure out how to control the pogle brake it sozzles like the best of 'em.
CakeShapedPie
Seperating drill pipe segments. The bit at the end is probably due to be changed so they pull up potentially miles of the pipe, stack it in pieces on the rig, change the tool and then do this all in reverse
exploradoresciclos2018
Gracias. :D
mindstorm8191
Cool. But why do they put the giant wrenches on the pipe before it is pulled up? Is that some kind of safety procedure?
Spidey209
The wrenches hold the pipe and unscrew the sections, like a couple of spanners. There ain't nothing in this video that is a safety procedure.
5Mac0
My assumption is stability and then holding the two sections of pipe so it can be unscrewed from the section in the ground still.
CakeShapedPie
Speed. This rig costs tens of thousands of dollars a day. This whole process can take hours. Making it take even longer is extremely expensive
mindstorm8191
Oh; so the wrenches are what actually secures the pipes so they can be unscrewed from each other. They are simply preparing the wrenches for when the pipe gets high enough... am I understanding it correctly?
CakeShapedPie
Yep. Wrap them around while they pull up the pipe. Once the joint gets to the spot they secure the wrenches and unscrew the segments with the drill motor and then repeat
