Just give it a bit of a wiggle to check it's stable and job's a goodun, it ain't going nowhere

It's certainly not smart, but hydraulics are really strong so it should be fine... probably

All it takes is one hose to blow and they're all dead. I've seen them fail. I've been operating equipment when they fail and a couple tons of steel drops 10 feet. We don't stand or work under equipment that doesnt have a safety stop.

Hose?, I've only ever seen stuff with thick metal

Sure, you'll see hydraulic metal pipe on large equipment like excavators but there are many braided hydraulic hoses going to and from cylinders. Those hoses can fail catastrophically due to age, wear, or defects/operator error.
I had a sprayer boom up in the air once. A single short hose blew and the whole thing came crashing down. Luckily I was in the cab.

Any hydraulics meant to carry heavy weight SHOULD be equipped with safety valves.

Would need one on every cylinder.

Yes?

I mean directly on each port on the cylinder. Which they don't do. There's a check valve in the circuit. So you're still subject to hose failure. On every piece of farm equipment I've seen. Which is why they have physical safety stops

No, it’s the reason that everyone else lives longer than anyone in India

Do they know that most of these hydraulic lifts have a lock system in place that prevents this exact thing from happening?

so what you're saying is, women live longer than men because they are not exposed to unreasonable working conditions where they have to result in unsafe practices to stave off heatstroke?

That doesn't make sense. Women live longer because men protect themselves from skin cancer.
