      Uh, sure. You might also fall on the concrete walk way around the pool, or on the lift, or the lift might fall on you, or any number of things.

        Sure they might fall in the concrete, but that would be really obviously about to happen to have the fall.

        Or like others have pointed out, they’re using equipment designed for this, and probably nothing will happen lol

          This equipment is not designed for this at all.

          Guaranteed the specs for that lift say that it can only be operated from the ground.

          Guaranteed the specs for that dock say that it can not be used as a platform for any kind of equipment, and that it must be used as a “dock” (secured to something) and not a barge.

          If your risk assessment is “Probably nothing will happen lol”, it’s probably a good time to re-think your approach. It’s easy to be flippant looking at memes on lemmy, but it’s just madness to risk your life so your employer can save a few dollars.
