I think I'm seeing some sort of safety line that appears to go to the operator's cab. But it also looks like it's hooked to the same hook his bridging fixture and machine is connected too.
My safety alarm does not like that, as if the failure happens to be the main crane, that operator is a goner.

I'm pretty sure he is wearing his safety orange parachute. The base jumping model. Automatically deploys.
