Some how they missed the riggers class about jib needs to extend beyond farthest protrusion. End of GIF shows his disbelief. He weighs enough but either too short a ladder or street level too high. And his single sheave's no mechanical advantage other than change of direction.Quote:

Amazes me how many get photos recorded, you know, intended for the boss. Not the surprise ending, no raise for you!
I agree.
These guys didn't miss the rigger's class.

What did they expect? the bag was probably a 35 or 42 Kg bag falling from that height the accumulated energy could have been 5 times the original weight.
3 stupid people plus others watching, unbelievable.

Yeah, it seems that "stupidity" is rapidly becoming a popular spectator sport.Quote:

I guess his purpose in life was to tell us not to try the same thing. What a pathetic purpose in life.
Worse thing the guy is probable still f*cked up from the injuries.

I just had to laugh before they even dropped the bag. I was thinking, "Here's a death coming up".
That guy was hurt?
I hope he’s alright.
I’m guessing but in his
country not working
means not eating.
He HAD to be seriously hurt!
