I couldn't imagine even trying to ride one of those extra-tall bikes without a full-face helmet and leather at minimum, yeesh.

madeintaipei posted:I have a family member who worked for a large rental car company at Tampa International during college. At the time cars were dropped off at ground level, taken up one or two levels (depending on the company) for a wash, stored there, then taken down as needed. As a porter you wanted to move swiftly and always have a car going back down, walking down made you look like an rear end in a top hat. Much crashing of unfamiliar cars around the first corner after a wash. Had to GIS what a Ford Tempo looks like but having done so I gotta say I understand the boss's position

I had to cart over a bunch of oil dry to a similar fuckup at a government building I worked at. A driver got out to open the trunk so a guard could inspect it at the top of the garage ramp, but they left the car in gear. Honestly, it could have been really bad if it hadn't just run into a solid wall and stopped.

Calling back the headlight talk, the worst I did was riding my motorcycle on a twisty road on a foggy night. See the curve, press and lean into the turn, the headlight points in the opposite direction! Kinda had to guesstimate where the turn was and not overshoot it.

Here’s one from Australia.quote:Immediately after the empennage separated, the aircraft entered a steep, nose-down spiral descent. The pilot instructed the remaining parachutists to abandon the aircraft. The last one left the aircraft before it descended through 9,000 ft. The pilot transmitted a mayday call, shutdown the engine and left his seat. On reaching the rear of the cabin, he found that the roller blind had closed, preventing him from leaving the aircraft. After several attempts, the pilot raised the blind sufficiently to allow him to exit the aircraft, and at an altitude of approximately 1,000 ft above ground level, he deployed his parachute and landed safely. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20010429-0

Ror posted:countertop disaster video Sorry to bring this back from pages ago, but I'm only just catching up to this thread. I was under the impression that concrete (cement?) countertops are typically poured in place using forms. Assuming that's what this is, why the hell would they pour it off-site? That seems like it's just inviting the exact outcome we're seeing here. If it's actually stone (I honestly can't tell; the top side looks like stone but the underside looks more like cement to me), then forget I even asked -- just enjoy my countertop ignorance and move on to the next OSHA that graces the thread with its presence.

I've seen concrete tops being cast in a shop and then placed after curing. But I've never seen one without rebar. Also, they're usual placed on (and glued to) a plywood base between the cabinet frame and countertop. It doesn't look like concrete to me, when you see the top after it cracks it looks like polished granite to me. It likely split apart due to a combination of poor handling during the lift, being struck by that brace at the break point, and impurities weakening the slab.

It was weakened by having a huge notch taken out of it at its midpoint. That is the most critical place on the whole slab. BeatmstrJ couldn’t have hosed it up more.

It didn't strike the brace until well after it was broken, and that brace wasn't even screwed into place. It broke because that giant cut-out left it too weak to bear its own weight when rotated to horizontal while only being supported at either end.

I'm fairly certain that's marble. They hosed up in multiple places. The sink is unfortunately placed but if that's the design, you kind of have to figure it out. They made multiple errors. They should have immediately set it down when bearded hat guy hosed up on the lift. It was airpods that broke the top though, when he drops the top onto the corner like that. How I (as someone who does this for my job) would have done it would have been to roll it up to the edge of the 2 little wing walls on the counter, leaned it against the wing walls. Have one person on each side and one in the middle lift simultaneously and pivot the top to horizontal using the wing walls as the pivot point, and then slide it into place that way. The guy in the middle would be doing most of the lifting, the guys on the side are basically spotters.

5-800 for the slab (this could easily double depending on what the stone actually is), maybe the same for shop labor. Laminations are loving annoying to do. There's not really a machine that you can buy that makes them quicker, it's a lot of hand work, and from the look of it it's a true miter, which means it takes a little more time to make sure everything looks right.

I think the chain goes from the pedals on top to where the pedals normally are, and then there is a second chain going from there to the back wheel so he can pivot the entire contraption. I haven't been in the office for ages otherwise I'd grab some pics, I'll try to remember to next time I am there.

I might've bought or rented a drywall jack or something and used that to lift the slab. That way the start position for the lift is above that poke point. Then everyone can focus on corner and edge positioning instead of height and it becomes a game of slowly lowering the piece into place.
