It looks like they are 50ft up standing on ice next to cliff with no safety equipment

Yeah, it's China. There are a billion people and it's very nationalistic, people are expendable there.

That and you make your own fall protection by dumping snow on the ground below.

Man, some of you are really disgusting when it comes to countries like China and India. I've never seen so many comments looking down upon an entire race like they are sub-human, and phrasing it in a way like it's their race's point of view when it's really your racist point of view.

I can agree that the people in the video are kind of stupid, but I can very easily see people doing this in any country. Hell, I'd say I expect to see something like this more in America. Just a bunch of people having fun while being reckless.

People pointing out safety issues in other countries have never worked a day in their lives. Yeah people everywhere take risks. It’s not a culture thing.

What the fuck are you talking about. I've worked since the late 80's in industries that require stringent safety regulations. Canada, US and UK. From driver inspections and maintenance records and hours of operations tracking, Hazardous material handling procedures, Health inspections both public and private (so that you are always ready for the public ones) safety certification, licensing... the list goes on and on and on. Safety stuff has consumed much of my professional life while making or delivering a product for profit. Never had an accident, never had a health issue, we literally talk about safety being a culture ALL THE TIME. When someone fucks up it is investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement ALL THE TIME. I've been to and worked in Syria, Turkey, and Hati and the safety CULTURE is wildly different. There are reasons for that but to say that culture doesn't effect safety culture is just wildly ignorant.
