    That is designed for that.

    In the sense that something designed to carry 8,000lbs can probably actually handle 10,000lbs? Or in the sense that if they both died insurance would still pay out?

        The only issue is they aren't wearing harnesses in case they fall off.

        Given they are suspended over water, it may actually be better to not have the harness. If the whole thing were to tip the harness could get tangled and keep someone trapped under water.

            Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

            Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.

            The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

            If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

                  Cruises would be pretty interesting if once out at sea they released 30 wild boar.

                          Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.

                            Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.

                                  Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.

                                          I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.
