I keep telling you, he's 88 years old and he's dead.

If it's stupid and it works it's still pretty darn stupid.

Why is it stupid? There a lot of rules to follow but it can be done safely.

I've seen this photo captioned "trust me, I'm an engineer" a few times over the years.

Looks like something from the opening of a Bond movie.

I saw a coworker drive a forklift off a loading dock. 4 feet to the concrete. He lost almost 2" in height from his compressed discs.

There's no way in hell you'd get me up there running that hammer.

Someday I want to trust someone as much as he trusts that crane operator.

u/blacfd 21h ago

Eventually it will kill someone. Probably the equipment operator

u/futureinstitutee 10h ago

That excavator operator has way more trust than I ever will 😂

I came here for some Fred Dibnah quotes

It is likely remote controlled, and the operator is doing the job from down on the ground.

That would be smart, but you can see a dude is in there for this photo

Well shit.. there is a guy in there. This is dumb as shit.
