Very funny, and things were so much better back then. Australia is buggered now

This crew is a tragedy waiting to happen. Geez. I'm no safety Sally, but even I was cringing with the amount of line of fire violations are in this video.

[@scotts4769]

I’m a structural ironworker, I’ve done this for 30+ years. When I started there wasn’t a fall protection device in sight, now you can’t go above 6 ft without it. We survived on wits and skill, now anyone can do it.

[@davidthurmond5320]

It's a wonder if that rotten tree didn't barber chair

[@Rivers-edge-farms]

Nice white! Don’t make many that pretty anymore!

[@sammaskell612]

Dodgy fella drove a Volvo, no surprises

[@26TptCoy]

Nothing wrong with that. I drove an N10, longer wheelbase, very much the same even the same bullbar and sunvisor. One here has the front axle set back, mine was set forward and had more leaves added for heavier weight. A mate had a Road Boss and a mechanic forgot to put the top step back on the fuel tank and everytime he got out he fell flat on the ground. Bruised and grazed after about 5 times on the deck, he drove off to go and retrieve the step
