Gotta love this. The epitome of the idiotic thinking that no one "should be telling me how to run my business etc.!" right before their worker gets pulled into a machine.

This at least looks like he's wearing a belt harness and it's attached to the forklift, and if that's the case it's probably better than using a really tall ladder.

Nope, thats just his shirt lifted up to reveal skin.

I just got the keys to my new apartment (the 1st floor of a 3 floor house) last night and I was taking a look around in the dark (super spooky). I noticed part of the drywall in a broom closet was falling down, so I went to take a look at fixing it and realized that there was a staircase behind it (and also that it was hung by a single loving screw, jesus christ i hate handyman work). Turns out that when the house was divided into apartments, they just walled off the servant's stairs between the 1st and 2nd floor and added a door to the 2nd floor landing that the 3rd floor apartment could use to access the servants stairs between the 2nd and 3rd floors. So, now I have a cool hidden antique staircase that goes nowhere.

Come on man, gotta post pictures.

During some big wildfires there were posts about rural australia's fire policy of "leave early, or stay and fight". Folks were welcome to stay home and try to fight the fire themselves, but if they got into trouble the fire department wasn't coming to help them. That seemed pretty odd to us here in North America.

Rural areas might take an hour for the fire department (CFA) to get to you and travelling in bushfire areas is incredibly dangerous and people regularly get killed in their cars whilst driving through bushfires. Last thing they need is for a truck and its team to be immolated trying to save your rear end when you should have left hours ago anyway.

30 miles per hour is... 70kmh or so? That's pretty loving fast to face-plant on some asphalt. Assuming he weighed some 160 pounds, that's about 15000 Joules of kinetic energy - that's equivalent to a shot from a .50BMG rifle. Dispersed over a substantially larger area, of course, but still.

You bothered to work out the energy but didnt know that 30mph is 48kph even roughly?

From the same series, Robie Coltraine talking about Steam engines, skip to about 20 mins for the OSHA bit. That is frightening.

AH yes, nothing quite like having a train literally throw an axe into your face to cap off a good day.

Similarly, Terminator 2 lied about sinking into molten metal. It's so dense that you kind of fry, skittering and sizzling all over the surface without being able to sink much more than a couple inches in.

Yeah but the only things that go into it are the terminators who are metal.

Envisioning Arnold doing this like a big pat of butter in a hot pan just gave me a giggling fit.

But would pay to see this happen.
