affordable 2 post lift--possible safety issue

[Richard Givan]

I ran across this pic and thought you guys would appreciate the ingenuity, physics, and sheer nerve of this dude.

The only thing missing is a rope tied to the main support and leading out of frame. I would have then titled it "Rabbit Trap Redux."

My only concern is that the truck may fall and damage the welder(machine,not the human)!

What's wrong with it? The weldor has chocked the tire, used a stout support, has a safety support, gas tank is not leaking and has made provisions to get help if needed (the camera person.)

You are implying that, what he is doing is unsafe. The fact is the guy who has to pull the 4X4s out, has the safety issue. He could strain some parts. LOL

Oh, Caught my pant leg on fire. Turn around and get up and out of here so you can get the fire on your leg out were you can reach it and run into the post, and I am guessing Darwin is right.. :tard:

It looks as the welder is in front of the truck, nothing to worry about.
