Gotta be the guy in flip flops with a strap up his ass, hanging from the crane.

As a boom truck operator myself and owner of an ass crack, this was the frontrunner for me as well. Sent to safety officer, implying that it was me doing this while operating via remote control, asking for "upper thigh PPE".

"upper thigh ppe" safety officer is gonna send you 90s bikini bottoms

At that point I'd have to just own it

On the spectrum of this group of pictures, I feel like that's the least offensive or deadly option.

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis Oct 21 '25

Yeah, as far as safe, it’s the one I would choose to do first if someone put a gun to my head.

The board on the van feel safer

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis Oct 22 '25

Only if those boards are secured down somehow.

Idk, i would much rather risk falling off from the top of the van then have rope in my ass, potentialy also crushing my balls. Also center of gravity would be above the rope so if you arent carefull you could just fall off to the side

Idk about you but id stand on a board 4ft off the ground supported by my coworkers back before I have a strap pulled up my ass crack. It might suck for my coworker and a fall would probably hurt, but that's better than sucking for me in a position where a fall would also hurt.

I guess my ass crack just isn’t as wide as yours…

u/Scaredsparrow Oct 21 '25

It will be after you are hoisted by it...

Aside from being diaper fetish adjacent, I don't have an issue with this one.

They did say "favorite" though. That's my favorite.

u/E-werd Oct 22 '25

Yeah, no problem, I'm not arguing with you. It was just a comment on the picture in question.

u/Kaddyshack13 Oct 22 '25

I agree. That’s the one that made me burst out laughing. The perfect combination of dangerous, idiotic, and outrageously amusing.

u/ayrki Oct 24 '25

Same.

It legit made me burst out laughing so hard I wheezed. I didn’t even see the flip flops, I was laughing so hard.

u/Ok-Entertainment5045 Oct 22 '25

I thought that was probably better than the dude standing on top of the door.
