Only took you weeks to film yourself?

Funny you say that, but steel hardware can give you a false sense of security. I've seen modern rigging snap without warning, and it's way scarier because you don't expect it. Back when things creaked and groaned, at least you got a heads-up something was wrong. Now with all this silent steel, people get lazy and overlook the small stuff until it's too late. So maybe those heart-stopping moments with wood were actually saving grace in disguise.
