Risking it in Poland

Spotted in Poland, two men apparently installing electrical wiring at height. Looks like the setting is a scrap yard, which is exactly where their form of powered access belongs.

Stacked up on a forklift two men at height

It starts with a forklift that has clearly seen better days, with a fork mounted skip that is just hanging on the end of the tines in order to provide more outreach. It is possibly balanced against the wall for extra rigidity. It is topped with two planks and a stilage that has served its time. All this at an ultimate platform height of around six metres.

There is no one at the controls of the forklift - which is probably just as well - but it looks as though one of the men is preparing to climb back down to operate the machine.

This is worse than a chair on a box on a table etc… in term of its precariousness definitely one for the Death Wish series.

The skip looks as though its just on the forks and one man looks ready to climb down to the controls
