minus-square@QuetzalcutlasslinkEnglish13•edit-215 hours agoKnowing a construction worker’s usual sense of humor, I’d be afraid of one giving the guy sitting next to them a solid slap on the back as a joke. Especially if they had just expressed a fear of heights.
minus-square@surewhynotlemlinkEnglish26•17 hours agoThere are fewer of them than there could have been. Regulations are written in the blood of our citizens.
minus-square@ThebeardedsinglemaltlinkEnglish5•edit-213 hours agoEvery single modern safety regulation is because someone died, or at least was seriously injured, doing exactly what the rule tells you not to do.
minus-square@toynbeelinkEnglish13•17 hours agoYes, and I don’t share their sensibilities. Just this photo makes me want to hide somewhere very close to the ground, maybe even under.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•17 hours agoI’d like to see the rest of a zoomed out perspective. There is a chance it’s above a other floor. And it’s really only like 13 feet up
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•12 hours agoA 13 foot drop is still easily enough to kill you. People have died from only a 6 foot drop.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•7 hours agoOh sure! But the survival of a 13ft drop is wayyyyyyyyy greater than almost hitting terminal velocity and landing on concrete below.
minus-square@toynbeelinkEnglish3•16 hours agoMaybe, but it seems unlikely that any kind of aircraft would be flying that low through a populous area.

We’re talking about this generation, right?

Ah, that is somewhat more plausible.
