I've seen that on a documentary on TV. Really interesting to see it done live. We have 3-4 transmission lines in the woods behind our CT house. A few years ago we started hearing loud explosions every couple of hours, thought they were blasting to improve the access road. Nope, they were setting off imploding splices. Essentially an aluminum tube wrapped with det-cord. They'll prep a bunch at a time then set the group all off at the same time. It makes a much tighter splice than hydraulically crimping them.

Yup you gotta have confidence in and explicitly trust your buddies. Spent lots of time working out of rotorcraft. Glad I’m retired. Train, drill, train, drill. Over and over. That’s the key. If not willingly you’re out.
