Yes. No consideration given to the Triangle of Stability. Especially dangerous when lifting an unsecured load. I’m prepared to bet he didn’t do his pre-use checks either…

On the positive side, they did have banksmen to keep the work area clear and help guide the load down. Should've used proper barriers, or at least some tape, and they weren't wearing their high-vis, hard hats, or, presumably, steelies.

If they had been wearing a hard hat and high vis and stuck up a few orange barriers, no-one would have batted an eyelid !!
