I’m gonna be the one to say that isn’t the most impressive looking building scaling challenge. Those ridges are far deeper and more evenly spaced out than most rock walls that free-solo climbers would do in this same style, there are also a lot of play created in the corners where he could wedge a foot and push up to grab the next cut out ledge. I’m not saying it isn’t a terrifying thing to look at especially due to the sheer height he is at (hell no thanks), but if you really wanna see some hosed up wall climbing stuff that will flip your stomach, look up Alex Hammond’s videos.

So I was wondering the legalities of this, at my job we raise people on the forks of a forklift to unload shipping containers, is that frowned upon? I can't find the attachment we use on google, I was told it was made by our maintenance department so I doubt its something normally used. The attachment is a rectangle plate with a sharpened front edge, it attaches to the front of a pacer forklift and we use it to scoop underneath things like tables and dressers, sometimes we stand on it to get raised up in order to pull pieces out of the top of a shipping container. What really surprises me is that we use all of this equipment, yet in these containers I see barefoot prints from the Malaysian dudes that loaded it. I can't imagine what its like loading 180kg desks and 70kg nightstands barefoot, can't be a very long career.

In the UK, your company would be crucified for letting people stand on forks at height. You need a cage with at least waist - high rails, that is secured to the forks to prevent it sliding off. And above a certain height, they'd need to be wearing harnesses.

I read an article somewhere about that poor kid who died on the waterslide. If I remember it right he was indeed the son of a lawmaker, and the lawmaker had fought hard to prevent government safety regulations and oversight that would likely have prevented the tragedy. In a way I hope that's not the case because that's just the worst "poetic justice." Nobody should have to bury their child.

Relentless posted:Here's an article about how hard it is to keep a cage in compliance, with pictures of what you should have. If yours is just a flat piece of metal with no railing... Yeah we have a cage that maintenance uses for the lightsbulbs way up, like 40 feet, but for on the load dock we just stand on our homemade plate. Maybe I'll grab a few pics tomorrow. Our biggest concern I saw was that they had to change the turning speed on our pacer forklifts because if you spun too abruptly and quickly, the metal plate jumps to the end of its chain tether and can easily snap it. Now you have a horizontal guillotine weighing 300lbs just flying at whatever is in the way. Somehow nobody has died here except for a heart attack, but lots of people get hosed up ankles and backs. Its a big company and we have signed waivers where we have to go to court with their hand picked arbitrator, so they never get in trouble.

In the US, someone would frown really hard, and grumble something about OSHA, and then nothing would happen ever. Well, someone from OSHA might, might, show up six or seven years later, quietly ask if the offending party still works there, and then are chased off the lot by some good ol' boys.

I've done work in a forklift cage - it's basically the same as the bucket on a cherry picker, you wear a harness and a hardhat, and have a spotter on the ground and someone driving the fork. The social aspects of work/life balance in developing nations are beyond my pay grade, but when I was in Vietnam a few years ago, my wife and I were having dinner and drinks on the roof of The Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, and there were guys working on something in the street down below, including forklifts and arc welders, at least until we left at 10:15pm.

The play is about a man who owns a company and he cuts corners when building airplanes for the war. Long story short he is aware that people probably died because of his work, but refuses to believe his son died because of him. He finds out in the end the son was riding a plane and decided to commit suicide because he couldn't live with the fact that his father knowingly shipped faulty airplanes. The play ends with the father finally realizing he is at fault for his son's death, and ends with him saying they were all my sons. Okay so not exactly the same but same idea.

OK that's entirely fair. I wouldn't trust people I just met with that either. I'm usually the only person on any crew that has their forklift ticket, so if we have to do this (and there's a core shed run by the Northern Territory government I've been to four times that has required us to do it every time) I'm generally the guy driving.
