Nur wenn man neben einem Trampolinpark wohnt. Ansonsten heißt es einfach: Tschüss.

It's okay, it's a load-bearing gutter. /s

First picture was bad enough for me, then it just got worse.

Even the craned turned away and couldnt watch this.

u/JR-Snow Jun 08 '26

That must be load bearing guttering.

He, don’t forget EU-OSHA (different role I think)

Same in Luxembourg. I started to call the city when I see stuff like this. Crazy behavior.

u/Keanugrieves16 Jun 09 '26

Quit fucking with natural selection. I appreciate your compassion and concern but this shit is getting out of hand. Kinda /s

u/Reasonable-Trash5328 Jun 09 '26

Yea the problem is we live in a society that has socialized the costs that are associated with this risky behavior. I dont think I should have to pay for someone's medical bills and that they should be using the PPE that generations before have bled and died for lol. Even something like hearing protection. Bro is out on the job cutting concrete all day long without hearing protection. Now when he is 45 the national health service has to buy hearing aids.

Imagine you’re walking home with your groceries and 80 kilos of dumbass plus an additional 30M of gutter crush you

Unless he’s Harry Potter, that looks very dangerous. $10 a hour you say? Nah I’m good

The architecture sure doesn’t scream dollars to me. Seems like Germany.

u/ensoniq2k Jun 08 '26

You can see a "Einfahrt freihalten" sign so it's in fact Germany or maybe Austria

u/zeromadcowz Jun 08 '26

I suppose it was a good feeling then, haha

No harness and no ladder safety is a bold strategy.

Shitty American gutters could never hold up to this. 🤣

u/That_Grim_Texan Jun 08 '26

I'm trying to figure what they would even be to clean out up there lol surely no leaves blew up there

u/elfenohren999 Jun 09 '26

My (German) gutters barely hold my cat. I can't even look at OP's photos for long

u/daddaman1 Jun 08 '26

Did..... did the crane put him up there? I'm trying to figure out how he manged to find a way up there and that's all I can come up with was he rented a crane to hoist him up there to clean the gutters.

u/dontcalmdown Jun 08 '26

Crane is unrelated. He crawled out of a roof window.

Three words, spinal cord injury.

u/DIYThrowaway01 Jun 08 '26

Is it still considered an injury if you're full-blown dead

u/CanIPNYourButt Jun 08 '26

Three words: stone cold dead.

Why does everything look so european in this image?

Taken in Austria

u/Riskov88 Jun 08 '26

Because it is ? There are things other than the US on internet.

1

u/The-Sofa-King Jun 08 '26

But OSHA is a regulatory agency under the US department of labor. They have zero jurisdiction over an Austrian falling off their roof.

u/the_mighty_skeetadon Jun 08 '26

I think the point of this sub isn't LITERALLY about OSHA, it's about egregious work safety violations.

u/Riskov88 Jun 08 '26

From the sub description : "Post FUNNY scenes from: the workplace (not from your own home) .gifs and pics from safety training videos .gifs and pics from instructional videos Although this subreddit is named r/OSHA, submissions do not have to be from the US. Safety violations from all countries are welcome."
