huh?
The location of those photos are the infamous Hells Gate in Moab. (There's a few videos floating of a jeep rollin down 6-7 times... eek!)
are you asking why that guy is standing w/ the camera in front of me? or of the guy taking the photo?
The guy taking the photo was actually doing two jobs (spotting me to take the right path up and taking snap shots). that blue line is my synthetic rope so even if it snapped, it wouldn't have whipped thus meaning it won't hurt anyone as there's no potential/kinentic energy in the rope. The rope was used to ensure that I wouldn't roll as I slipped off the passenger side of the wall that I was on (pretty scary I might add when that happened...) Once I slipped off, my changes of going end over was greater so thus the winch cable being used.
Now if you're talkin about the photographer taking the photo: It just happened that they took shots from there. Nobody particularly felt comfortable taking shots from behind showing the extreme angles as if the truck rolled, it'll flatten anyone in the way so thus the reason why no rear shot w/ the elevation shots. (safety first)
Anyway I hope I was able to answer your question as I wasn't sure what ya meant
