That's really stupid. I doubt that happened. That is incredibly dangerous.
It happened decades ago. Unwad your panties.
And no, it's not particularly dangerous. I've been on job sites where heavy equipment was lifted over rooftops. As long as a certified operator is running the equipment, it's safe enough.
If it was incredibly dangerous, those of us that sat in grand-dad's lap while he drove, and learned to drive like that would all be dead.
Lord, I dislike sissies.
