The traditional way to jump cars with only one wire is to park them so the bodies make contact. That’s your ground. Then you need only to bridge the positive terminals with a coat hanger or an AK-47 or whatever.

My dad talked about doing that a few times back in the day. Worked good when cars had metal bumpers.

Not with that amount of tread engagement, I don't think. It's definitely possible for a car to lay rubber with one tire though.

I'm sensitive to smells. Oregon is horrible because they literally spray the fertilizer on the fields, so driving around in springtime means recirculating the air or you risk driving into an invisible cloud of cholera poo poo stank.

The worst was a shrimp processing plant on the coast. I took two steps inside, and when I regained consciousness, I was sitting on the curb outside with my head between my knees. Still have no idea how I got there, because my family didn't notice and were halfway thru the plant tour before they realized I wasn't there anymore. It smelled like the sea had vomited a pile of rotted death into a building.

To be fair on this one, it's not actually clear if the human shredder is on or not. However, it is being used for it's intended purpose so that's fine.

The OSHA violation on that human shredder is that the shred-ee is going feet first instead of head-first. They’re just prolonging the inevitable for no reason. :mad:

I forgot a lunch thermos full of shrimp curry chowder in an easy-to-overlook corner of my detached garage once. Three weeks later I walked in to an ungodly stench and was overcome with waves of nausea, which was exacerbated by a drip falling on my collar. The concoction had fermented and built up enough pressure to blow the screwed-on lid and cup off the thermos into the rafters and left a drizzling fallout of the mixture on an unsuspecting me and I promptly ran to the yard and puked myself inside out. Rotted shellfish (mixed with dairy, to be fair) is like nothing else in the world.

Ol' Moneybags Bezos did a promotional video of him walking around an Amazon warehouse. There's a lovely scene where he walks up a very steep staircase with treads too small to even put this feet on properly. My guess is that it's classified as a ladder or something so they can get some tiny additional amount of floorspace.

Good to see the billionaires leading by example. Here, Jeff Bezos is shown climbing some steep stairs in an Amazon warehouse. Stairs are marked “3 POINTS OF CONTACT” but he is maintaining only a single point of contact.

It's been a long time since I looked at the OSHA requirements for stairs/ladders, but I think you need to be able to fully step on the stairs or there needs to be an opening in the rear for your foot to pass through.

I don't recall any requirements for the slope of a "ladder" in that case. Pretty sure stairs had a range for the rise and run of each step.

I don't know the actual specs, but knowing Amazon's love of skirting rules and reclassifying things I'm just speculating. You can take up less floor space for a stairwell by playing with the rise / run ratios. Whether they've gone the extra step (ha!) and just pretended it's a ladder I don't know.

Here are the NZ rules and I'm pretty sure they are too small to be legal here (too steep, too narrow, and the square tread edge instead of rounded):

OSHA covers it in Walking Working Surfaces. But a lot of company policy has become stricter over the years because the OSHA policy is some bare minimum poo poo if you have a need to carry loads up and down stairs, it's basically set up for majority of users going up or down unencumbered.

You're safe here.
I am betting that it is Amazon's company policy so that if someone has an accident and hurts themselves, they can blame it on the employee and then immediately fire them.

And probably deduct the cost of cleaning up their blood from their final paycheck.

I've always found 3 pts of contact to be a little overbearing. But no hands on the rails while you have no load is some motorcycling without a helmet poo poo.
