This is why there are rigging companies that have the right kind of equipment and expertise to do these kind of jobs. Cheaping out almost cost two guys their lives.

If that guy on the bottom left didn't grab that scaffold and slow it down, the guy on the scaffold would have gotten crushed under that beam. Good on him, likely saved his co-workers life.

They should've never used that forklift to try and lift such a massive beam! I feel for the guy who had to ride that scaffold down to the floor!! I hope he didn't get injured.

I'll bet OSHA loves the fact this was recorded.

The 2 guys standing arms crossed in high vis supervising definitely made a valuable contribution

Never EVER stand underneath anything that can squash you like a grape if it fell or toppled.

I am convinced now the aliens built the pyramids.

What's sad is that everyone in this room went along with this terrible idea, no safety culture.

I am not a qualified engineer, but it is plain to see that the set up they used was more than woefully inadequate. How they all went along with that is beyond belief. The tower guy was lucky not to end up under the beam!

Whoever was filming knew this was a bad idea. Guarantee someone had a problem with this and someone overruled them. I fell from a 6 ft step ladder onto concrete and shattered my elbow. I hope that guy is ok.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the obvious. The forklift had a lifting jib attached. No wonder it tipped over - centre of gravity too far forward. I can't believe the people working there thought it was fine.

"I don't care if he got killed, get it picked up and finished by lunch"

The fact they only supported that enormous beam at one point, without guide wires even, would be enough for me to say hell no.

That was fucking terrifying for a “fail”

Scaffold dude came within about an inch of meeting his maker...😱😱😱

That dude is absolutely so freaking lucky to be alive

I was a painter at Skyjack, I worked there for years, Im speechless, glad they weren’t hurt.

Luckily everyone was wearing a yellow jacket. 👍🏻

Guessing the two guys on the right are the supervisor and safety guy 😂

Love how the two orange vests supervising didn't run to see if the guy on the scaffolding or fork lift was OK only one guy seemed concerned about the guy in the scaffolding
