Guardrail ballet

Spotted in San Diego this week a man balancing on the guardrails of a scissor lift, while working on a prestigious construction project.

The man is working on an upper floor of the expansion project at the Westfield/University Towne Center Mall and Westfield/UTC San Diego Metropolitan Transit Center in San Diego, California. The scissor lift is closed but our man is using the guardrail to gain the extra height on the roll out guardrail. At least he looks to be harnessed to something, not that it will save him a nasty injury.

This job was certainly not planned

In the words of our correspondent: “This is the $500,000,000 portion of an overall $900,000,000 expansion/construction at the Westfield/University Towne Center Mall and Westfield/UTC San Diego Metropolitan Transit Center in San Diego.”

A closer look

It certainly does not look like this job was properly planned. Definitely one for our Death Wish series.
Have a safe weekend.
