Melbourne Fork and scissor trick

Spotted in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, a man working from a scissor lift balanced on a forklift.

The photo was reportedly taken in Mitcham, Melbourne, a scissor lift balanced on the forks of fork truck. The 15 or 19ft slab scissor lift might just have reached the height on its own?? It certainly did not need such a high lift – with the Fork truck’s mast fully extended, simply adding to what is already a ridiculously dangerous stunt.

In the words of our correspondent: “another case of not having the right equipment for the job and coming up with a ‘creative’ solution.”

As crazy as this is, we see examples from around the world every few months or so. Definitely one for our Death Wish series.
