    My youngest daughter sent me this today....thought I'd share it with the safest guys I know.
    Something tells me safety never entered their mind though.:eek:

    Everybody knows you are not supposed to use bricks and concrete blocks on their sides like that.

    That ain't in North America...not that it really matters but desperation and lack of resources comes to mind...sad...it really is...imagine the craftiness built into the rolling part of the equation...:eek:

    They should have at least wrapped some gorilla tape around the beam and the top of the ladder.

  17. What’s wrong with it??? Lol

    Look at the ladder rods that keep the two halves together,,,,the metal hinges that keep the ladder from opening too wide.
    They are not taught,,,,,no load on the ladders.
    I think it is a good photo shop fake.

    Looks OK to me, the motor & trans are just hanging there, no one is around....What do you suppose the guy was standing on to reach the come-a-long handle when he was lifting it up? Next question: Why do you suppose the motor & trans have to be 5' in the air?

    They should have used extension ladders and eliminated all that unsafe stacking.

    They needed some of those ratchet straps from the dollar store to secure the wood plank to the ladders.

    I wondered about it being fake, but who'd go to that much trouble?

    This could have been prevented if they hadn't outlawed Lawn Darts. The herd needs thinning.
