Maybe you were making a push in a commercial building that just experienced partial collapse, and this is where you find yourself?
**Additional thought; have you ever tried to tripod in a hoarder house? You'll find yourself crawling through narrow passages in the junk to get from point a to point b. Crawling is a reality.
I barely trust most commercial buildings as it is. No one is going into one that experienced a partial collapse outside the most extreme circumstances.
It's not always the buildings that collapse. Often its the products on shelves. And hoarder conditions in residential structures don't really allow typical tripod movement, so you may end up resorting to crawling like this.
I mean, I can always imagine a scenario in which this could happen, so I'd rather get the practice in, as opposed to waiting for it to happen and then figuring it out.
Helicopter crews for law enforcement, search and rescue and the military all get strapped into a big fake cockpit that then gets flipped upside down in the water...not something that happens that often, and I'm sure everyone would prefer to simply avoid it happening, but is it stupid training, just because it's for the most extreme scenario?
Not that often...which is why you practice for it? I mean, we don't typically go into fires with hoods over our masks, but we still do it to simulate worst-case scenarios, so why wouldn't this be along the same lines?

Good lesson in why we tripod
