LOL.
What’s he got up on that table?
And there’s another idiot in the pool who obviously doesn’t see anything wrong with running a power cord through the water to the gizmo in the middle of the pool.
Roger was wrapping up his repairs on a radio antenna when he realized he had left his 250 pound tool chest on the top of the antenna. Not wanting to carry it down, he took the smart route. There was a rope threaded to a pully at the top of the antenna. He figured he could anchor it at the base, go up to tie the tool chest to the other side, then come down and lower the chest to the ground.
Well he went did all that, but he forgot basic physics. His tool chest weighed about 250 pounds. he only weighed about 180 pounds. So when he released the anchor, instead of lowering the tool chest down, he found himself being launched into the air.
Halfway up the tower he meets his tool chest, giving himself a concussion and gashes on his arms. When his hands got to the top, his fingers got pulled into the pully, breaking three of them. As that was happening, his tool chest was hitting the ground. It hit hard enough that the bottom fell out and all his tools spilled out onto the ground.
Well, now his tool chest only weighed about 10 pounds. So he found himself plummeting down the tower, only to meet the empty chest halfway again, breaking a foot and slashing a leg. Then, he lands with a thud on his feet and collapses on top of his pile of tools. At this point he is fairly well beat up and dazed. So what does he do?
He lets go of the rope.
Pray for common sense to return to this country!
It’s amazing to me how so many people believe that those wires are really connected to a live power source. The guys in the picture are engaged in some major chain yanking.
