The only one that is smart enough to be worried is the little guy. LOL

So if I was the guy taking the picture you know I would have to pretend to just walk away and leave them up there.:yup

When I worked for a larger construction firm here in the city each day we'd do a "saftey talk",but with these talks we'd get a print out from a certain internet page and each day they have a different picture.

Man,some of those pics were classic 2 favs were the one with an open excavation with a massive boulder held up with what looked like 1x3 strapping and a worker underneath that rock with his head down hand digging,and the second was a guy standing in a raised bucket of a compact tractor pounding a fence post in on I think a farm with a sledgehammer and the guy holding the post with his hands inches from the top.

If anyone can think of the site i'm thinking of could they post a link,i can't remember the name of it for the life of me but i laughed every morning from it hopefully a few members will too.

It was quite a few years ago, but I was operating a backhoe with attachable forks on the bucket, lifting plywood to carpenters on the second floor of a house. One of them stepped out onto the load, near the one side. The sheet tipped and he fell to the ground, I think breaking a wrist and an ankle. That was dumb enough, but taking the wife and kids and putting them up there is just plain irresponsible...

I'd like to know that too! We have a POS Nissan forklift to use in the shop and it gets cranky with some sawdust on the shop floor! :eek:

But yeah that is one of the dumber pictures I've seen.
