Real or photoshoped?

seen some places in Hati that would scare you.

I didn't say there was no possible way to get hurt. I would have put the stabilizers down. We all take bigger risk everyday. What do you think the chance is that there would be catastrophic failure while they were under it. Probably less than the 3rd world country building collapsing while they were in it.

here are the risks...

That is the only case I have ever seen. I have seen far more fatalities from using a backhoe for its intended purpose.

I think so.
Twice the weight on long end as well as twice the distance.
In fact the ladder might be the only 'weak link'.

In fact I once did similar in order to repair a brick chimney using bricks and 2" x 10" as I did not have scaffolding.

Probably real. That does remind me of the old joke about the guy falling down the side of a multistory building and at the coroner's inquest a lower floor witnesses testimony to the victims descent that he thought it might be a *** crime. " and he screamed out where did that xxxxxxxxx go"?

Wonder if this is third world or first world.

Besides, do the stabilizer cylinders have some sort of protection such that if a hose breaks; the cylinder still holds (must be powered down for example). If a stabilizer hose broke while you were on the edge of a hole it would look like the pic above. Doesn't seem likely to me that this would be overlooked on a modern machine as in the OP pic.

I don't think the stabilizers have any hose burst protection. Why would you need it?

Prob no better than Second :laughing:

I was thinking how often you rely on them to keep from falling into the hole.
