Just love it. Both are saying gently caress this, but one is in flight mode, the other in fight mode.

An ex of mine went to the University of Sheffield where they had one of these. People would prank freshmen by going over the top and ripping their clothes, using some theater blood and standing on their head to make it look like horrible things happen if you go around.

It's actually a Jeep ad, recreating a news film of the car just escaping the tree. They added the Jeep. And yes, it was made in New Zealand.

I like how turning a workplace environment into a platforming game is somehow OSHA approved.

So I started working at a new place. I cannot get everyone to stop climbing up the wooden rungs on the carpet sample wall that's like 25 feet high over a hardwood floor. So they're grabbing onto a wooden rung that has a carpet sample draped over it and putting their feet onto a rung with a carpet sample draped over it. Also I'm not worried about repercussions because they do this poo poo IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS.

This happens multiple times a day. Does anyone have any applicable laws or maybe a link to some facts about fall injuries? Because I know if someone falls down and hurts themselves the company's going to go "welp, we had ladders there, you're screwed."

Yeah, the whole place is nuts. This kid was standing on the cash wrap counter wobbling back and forth to unscrew a ceiling light with one hand and I had to take him aside later and lecture him.

It's super high end but I guess retail attitudes never change.

Yep, you can only tell them so many times before it becomes obvious that the message will never sink in.

That's when you pre-order one of these foil balloons for the inevitable hospital visit instead of taking a 'Get Well Soon!' balloon.

If you're already a fat sack don't take the stairs, you'll give yourself a heart attack.

A food plant I interned at were moving heavy machinery. The bolts used to fasten them protruded from the floors, epoxy floors which were constantly wet from the plant running. Good times for impaling.

Oh poo poo, we had that once.

Big arse loving bolts coming up about 10cm out of the floor where old machinery had been taken out years ago and no one had bothered to take an angle grinder to them because no one wanted the hassle of getting a hot work permit. Also, "We might put something there one day, better leave it."

Then in the space of just one day no less than three forklifts drove over the bolts and hosed up their tyres*. And then someone who had come up to help the final forklift get free stood on one of the bolts and had it go right through the sole of his boot but by some absolute miracle not into his foot.

Oh how I laughed. The amount of poo poo I had taken trying to get that issue fixed, "everyone knows they're there so it's not a problem, you don't even work on the warehouse floor get back to the labs".





* There weren't even enough spare tyres on the site, because of course there weren't. So the last forklift had to sit around on three wheels until someone could go the store the next day and buy a bunch of new tyres.

That was an even funnier thing, because when the big boss came in the next day and saw a forklift just sitting there, someone had to explain to him how a known safety issue had just knocked out so many lifts in the space of a single day that we didn't have the parts to continue operation.

Serious answer i don't think OSHA gives a gently caress but DOT requirements for CDLs require normal blood pressure or a being on a medical drug pressure management plan to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke while driving a big truck at speed. Of course the fat fucks "have a guy" who signs their physicals for a slightly more expensive visiting fee.

Civil court saves the day again in general industry. If you need a respirator fit test, occupational clinics usually require normal blood pressure or a doctor's note so they aren't held liable if you stroke out during the lung capacity test. Ditto if you are covered by long term disability, there's usually a benchmark fitness test of something like squats, push-ups, and a stress test and most clinics again require normal blood pressure or a doctor's note so they aren't held liable for heart attacks or stroke. The benchmark is then used for when rehab ends and you need to return to work.

During Hurricane Matthew we were all placed under a curfew from the night before it hit Central Florida until the afternoon of the impact (it was going to be over 24 hours long, but the impact wasn't as bad as expected and curfew was lifted early). A guy up in the hick part of the region decided "gently caress the curfew, I need cigarettes" and drove out in his girlfriend's jeep in the hopes of finding a store that stayed open despite the area being under curfew and every business shutting down until it was lifted.

He ended up on the news because as he was driving back home empty-handed, a tree crashed down on the jeep and he had to escape by climbing through the sunroof and branches.
