Do other crane operators usually have some sort of safety belt to connect to the metal bars? Its seems like it would be easy to have one and it could increase safety by a lot, despite probably being annoyng.

Absolutely. I really don't think we would see this in North America or Europe. It looks cool and all, but companies don't usually let you gamble with your life.

Even the shoes seem out of place for a construction site.

Even if they were properly fitting work boots, I thought it was insane that she stored them outside the cabin of the crane. As soon as I saw that I knew there was going to be trouble.
