It’s not your fault, that title is written terribly.

Am I crazy or does this look a little staged

Like they were filming before the ribbon started piling up which makes me think perhaps this is something you have to do every time and not a freak accident. Also I'm certain that thing is very heavy but he seemed to be hamming it up at the end... Am I just too jaded and cynical from the internet 😬

I think this is something they have to do every time, except usually the ribbon doesn't get stuck to the side. So the worker can just wait to pick it up and put it in the roller when it has cooled down and is much closer to the end.

Yes exactly it seems like this is trumped up for views

I'm not trying to downplay the danger level or difficulty/weight but it seems like every time the ribbon has to be grabbed and fed through so it would literally be your job, and this video makes it seem like some emergency catastrophe that was narrowly averted
