I can't figure out any forces being imparted to it, and if the ladder the guy's standing on collapsed I don't see how that diagonal ladder wouldn't do anything besides topple. It looks like it's just resting there.

It sure doesn't look like it's attached in any way, especially considering that the other two ladders are tied together pretty obviously. If that guy down the bottom sneezes and his foot shifts an inch or two the other guy is gonna end up dead or paralysed.

I think it's wider at the bottom than at the top, and wider than the long ladder, so it holds the long ladder out from the garage roof.

An interesting local OSHA story with unusual consequences. Toronto has a local celebrity called Santa who runs around shirtless screaming and doing thousands of pushups on the sidewalk and on public transit and stuff. Most people in the city have seen him and it's quite the spectacle. What most people don't know is the reason he is that way is because he was a perfectly normal painter who fell 25 feet down a staircase and ended up in a coma for 23 days. When he came out he'd developed severe bipolar and schizophrenia. quote:David Zancai would not sit down and continued doing squats, grunting and grunting until his mother Lorna finally persuaded him to leave his apartment and go to the hospital.

I'm thinking the diagonal ladder was used to prop the ground ladder to the "correct" position/angle, then the horizontal one was put on

I am sure that people are dying up to be chopped up. You can't have people forgoing their own survival in the off chance to get body parts. This isn't Rimworld or China.

They introduced a new helmet, and after the next battle, they were just overwhelmed with head injuries after. They figured out that the helmet turned a killing blow into an injury/

Similar situation with planes in WW2. They looked for where the bullet holes were on planes that came back, but found that armoring those places wasn't as helpful as they expected. Someone caught on to armor the spots that didn't have holes since those planes weren't coming back, and they had a lot more success.

it's sort of similar to how when the RAF started putting armour on their bombers, they wanted to put it on the parts that were all shot up when the planes returned from sorties. right up until this dude pointed out that the planes made it back with those parts shot up, so you were probably better off armouring the parts that weren't damaged because planes that were damaged there probably weren't making it back booo, scooped quite stretched out fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Psychologically, though, that wasn't going to happen.

If I ran the CSB id be way too tempted to make a spoof 3D video narrated by that guy. "At 7:45 AM on Monday, May 22, 2017, a school bus picked up a group of children for a field trip to the natural history museum. The school bus carried twenty-eight children, ranging in ages from eight to ten, two teachers, and two chaperones. At 7:52 the bus approached a level crossing. The driver stopped, checked for trains, and proceeded across the tracks without incident. At 8:02 the bus turned and followed behind a tanker carrying liquified chlorine. As the tanker truck moved on, the school bus turned and parked at the art museum lot. Everyone went in and had a wonderful time exploring the exhibits, seeing live animals, and watching the planetarium show. It was about the solar system. At 3:45 the school bus left the museum and returned to the school without incident. Except for Sally Allenson, who reported being called a 'doodie head' by Jimmy Beaumont." (CSB Logo)

gently caress, guys, my property management company just installed sprinklers in my building and suddenly I've got the urge to light a bunch of candles near my drapes and months-old Christmas tree and leave them unattended. Phanatic was right!!
