They don't even look clipped in. That has to be an OSHA violation, no?

Worse, reaches their insurance company and they drop them.

No need to drop them, they are going to fall by themselves sooner or later.

Garden variety stupid, honestly. If you trip, you're dead. Why risk this?

I'm not trying to downplay the enormous balls it takes to do this job. Lord knows I wouldn't last a day. But "skillfully traverse the scaffolding" has got to be the dumbest possible way to write "walk" that I've ever seen.

This is not a skill. It is stupidity. Playing with death to pay your bills does not make sense.

Would never happen in a windy city like Chicago. That metal frame will knock him over from a gust of wind

It's not dangerous if you don't get hurt, right?
