I don't know as much about cranes as other posters but I think if your jack leg thingies start lifting up, you're overloaded.

Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke, Texas:

Closer than I thought. Just across DFW, there's a very similar approach in Rockwall - I actually saw someone pull a pretty gnarly go-around here (as maybe this unfortunate pilot should have done) as I went by. The actual threshold is so close to the road, I'd bet it was actually cut that way when this road was widened+repaved. You could catch 'rona on the road from someone sneezing on the runway.

Yeah, that's another displaced threshold. You can give the road a healthy buffeting of prop wash when taking off, but you need to land past that white bar further up.

While you two were thinking that, I was thinking "some middle manager put him there so that when he jumps off and the thing flips, the manager has someone to blame."

The thing tipped over 'cause Dale jumped off! We all agreed it was a great plan and perfectly balanced! loving Dale!

He can't weigh nearly enough for that to be worth doing. Unless his bones are neutronium or something.

You could probably stack 20 people on that leg and not do a thing if it wants to go.

They would all fly through the air like Wile E Coyote, though.

At least until their shoes came off. Maybe that's why the coyote always survived, he seldom wore any shoes!

If that happens even by an inch, you're so overloaded that you should be thrown off the site.

Yep. Use the tail as a handle. They have a surprisingly long neck and the bigger ones can remove a finger in one bite.

I had to move a big one out of a road one time. I found a broken tree branch about 2" in diameter and moved it close to its head. Turtle clamped down like a steel trap and I carried it like that. Turtle continued to crush the branch after I set it down and ran screaming back to my car went home.

Alligators are usually not very aggressive. You have to be stupid and put your hand right by their mouths for them to do anything.

Common snappers will go after you yeah. Though as Clint talks about in his video, most don't have a bite as strong as folks think. They can still do plenty damage though.

this reminds me of a few years ago when a little boy was caught by a gator and drowned at the florida disney park

internet assholes wanted to lay all sorts of blame on the boy's parents, using the common sense declaration that "everyone knows there's gators in the water in florida, i wouldn't let my kid anywhere near it" and "there was a no swimming sign, what more do you want?"

the fact that disney created a hazard by building a resort next to a florida lake, trucking in sand to create an artificial beach, not warning guests of the hazards and then straight up inviting families with small children to the artificial beach with no barrier access to gator lake - it was not very popular to point out that disney was massively liable for creating a hazard. all under the context of documented proof that disney was aware of the presence of gators in the lake, had protocols for removing the gators from the resort area, there was video of guests attracting gators by feeding them, and then not putting up gator specific warnings or cautions or trying to prevent guests from interacting with gators because apparently gators don't exist at the happiest place on earth. disney is VERY lucky the parents of the killed toddler chose not to press charges

you can even see the difference before and after the event on google street view of the beach, where before there's a nice sandy stretch dipping right into the water with a tiny little sign that says "no swimming" not "no wading" or "stay out of the water there are gators". afterwards the entire water access is blocked off by tons of rocks and a big fence with specific hazard warnings

given how tough it is to get eaten by a gator you'd think disney would at least meet some level of trying to separate their guests from wildlife but i guess a kid had to die first

this is the guy who did a series of youtube videos of himself getting purposefully stung by increasingly painful bugs

Does it count as OSHA if you're intending to do something painful and boneheaded

EDIT: He starts really antagonizing the thing at 14:30 and gets stung about 20 seconds later, if you're curious but don't want to watch the entire build up.
