    The only people thinking this looks too risky are the same people who don’t understand why ships float and planes fly. They don’t understand the natural sciences.

      This looks like a management photo op death trap to me. I’m not worried about a scissor jack being used on a flat floating surface in a pool, it’s that it isn’t secured to anything at all that really seems non OSHA compliant here. I just have really strong personal ethics about not eating shit 12+ feet off the ground in an hourly position. now IF the floatation device is rated for this use, and it’s actually secured in place, sure, fine, but that’s not what’s happening.
