First off, I half expected someone to get hurt, glad that didn’t happen.

Second, I expected the repair to look, more-or-less like the original cable....goes to show you I know nothing about this kind of repair.

Cool clip , thanks for sharing.

The way that guy was handling that flathead gave me the willies.

It boggles the mind thinking of the manufacturing infrastructure needed to make 1000's of miles of the stuff. And all the ways it can go wrong....

Speaking as someone who doesn’t know what constitutes a proper repair on such a cable, I gotta say that looks pretty damn comprehensive! Very satisfying to watch.

I can’t even imagine what the tape and Saran Wrap budget must be for that fix. Cool to watch tho.

That one and the Swedes using Thermite to weld railroad tracks:

Feet, ankles, knees... Crippled by age 40, I should think.

So basically a couple crimps, a bunch of tape and some heat shrink.
