The point of this paper is to give a short, direct proof that rank $2$ toric vector bundles on $n$-dimensional projective space split once $n$ is at least $3$. This result is originally due to Bertin and Elencwajg, and there is also related work by Kaneyama, Klyachko, and Ilten-Süss. The idea is that, after possibly twisting the vector bundle, there is a section which is a complete intersection.
