I can't imagine OSHA would approve this

One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

The only issue is they aren't wearing harnesses in case they fall off.

The other issue is when I chuck a stupendous peg-leg bombie next to their aqua-franken-scissor-tower.

Surfs up mfs.

They'll still have a brain to enjoy the quadrapeligia with

Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.

The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

Nobody is going accidentally bump your balcony with a forklift or any other equipment.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

What? At any job I've had you'd be required to harness into something on the ceiling. So if the lift gave out, you'd just dangle there until you got rescued.

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 13 points 1 day ago

If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.
