If they had a short pole underwater in the middle of the belly of floating platform then it would be more stable than my 95 yo granny at 3 am on her way to the toilet

No idea how it works exactly but the sailing boats have it so to not capsize easily or at all. It actually takes great deal effort to crash the sailing boat on its side, these fuckers can go 90 degrees under heavy wind and still come back like a spring though no promise the people will be still onboard.

It’s kind of fun actually to sail almost 90 degrees on the side but scary.

I can't imagine OSHA would approve this

One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

If it works, it's not hybris, is it?

The only issue is they aren't wearing harnesses in case they fall off.

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 8 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.

The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.
