Wheelie daft: Surely it's time this mechanic
invested in a proper jack?

Britain's gone health and safety bananas. But there are plenty of places around the world where workers shrug off the rules and regulations - as these hilarious internet pictures prove.
Wheelie daft: Surely it's time this mechanic
invested in a proper jack?
Deep trouble: A swimming pool painter dives head first into his work
Handle with care: Whoever parked this
must have had a real bomb scare
Plane stupid: A pilot carries out
running repairs on a wing and a prayer
Sitting target: This Chinese man hopes
his colleagues are a good shot
Hang on: Elf 'n' safety goes right out the window
Bright spark: Who needs a mask
when sunglasses and newspaper will do?
Lift-off: Forklift truck drivers double their efforts
Light fright: Dimwits try to repair a street lamp
Walking the plank: This shipyard worker would be all at sea
without the help of his three friends

Heck, that’s nothing.
In the entire “Star Wars” universe there isn’t a handrail to be seen anywhere.
Looks like the engine has stalled, and he's gonna try to propstart it.
Hope he calls "Clear!"
That is the passenger, the pilot sits in the back in a J3. If that were the pilot, the CG would be WAY out of the forward envelope.

1/ You can fly a J-3 from either seat. Flown solo, the pilot sits in the front seat (the aircraft is placarded “solo from front seat only”). Dual - the instructor sits in the back . 2/ That guy was an airshow performer in the ‘50s (how long since you’ve seen ‘NC’ in 24” letters on a wing?); the size of the elevator on a Cub is more than sufficient to correct for the forward CG.
I don’t see any women in those pictures.
Just sayin’... :D
*Preparing for incoming* lol
rofl!
Most of Hubby’s horror stories begin with the same phrase: “It was all going great until it all went horribly wrong.”
Barefoot and pregnant... :-)
There's a great scene (one of many) in a movie called "Never Cry Wolf" where bush pilot (Brian Dennehey) crawls outside the plane and beats on the engine cowling to restart the engine when it crapped out over the wilds of Alaska. Stunning scenery and great acting by all involved and a good one for the family. Anybody recognize the make of the plane? It looked cool.
[sidebar #1] A lot of those pictures just look like human ingenuity at work - we tend to think these are suicidal procedures but forget that we are used to all the techiniacl goodies of a First World nation.
[sidebar #2] My next door neighbor was working on his car, using a scissors jack. Gets the car up and crawls underneath - and the the jack proceeds to sink into the ground and pins him under the car. I kept hearing a muffled "Martha!" and finally woke up that it was coming from next door. I got a bottle jack and placed it on a square of plywood so it wouldn't sink in and got the car back up. He came out from under it in a shot with his eyes as big as saucers. Not really dumb - just didn't realize his jack had such a narrow base and that it has rained the day before.

*she loves me* LOL
I didn’t want my post directly below yours so as not to get singed by any errant flames likely coming your way.
:)
Dang it! You blew my spacer post! lol
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Back to the Kitchen Woman!!!
(He ducks, he dodges, HAHA, ya missed me!!)
Again... just sayin'. :D
Burnt pretty much covers, or cauterizes, everything anyway... :-)
