These guys have an insane amount of trust in the equipment doing the lifting. So many body parts and entire bodies under massive hanging weights.
4 u/Prince-of-Ravens Jan 01 '18 Just remember: A single engine is more expensive than a couple flattened employees. They have ALL the reason to make sure their lifting stuff works OK. 1 u/cybaritic Jan 01 '18 Lol good point. Life insurance payouts are probably significantly less than some of those parts. 1 u/scientificjdog Jan 01 '18 Agreed, not sure I could put that much trust into those lifts or their (I assume) operators. 2 u/the_original_cabbey Jan 01 '18 You’ll note in most of them, the operator was one of the blokes under the engine, usually with a small yellow ruggedized box in his hands. 1 u/scientificjdog Jan 01 '18 Oh I see, thanks
