Reaching New Heights!? Solo Dude on a Boom – Wordless Wednesday

Men on an arial work platform (AWP) fixing an electric billboard..

I had a slew of thoughts race through my head as I watched this man at work. Let me know what thoughts this photo stirs up in your noggin!

Men working on a billboard via an aerial lift.

    My thoughts? I am glad it is him and not me! HAHA With my ears being so messed up, I get vertigo often and especially with heights.

      I was glad it wasn’t me, too! The vertigo doesn’t sound fun to deal with. Thankfully, there’s plenty to do at ground level 😊

        I like your answer! Plenty of things to do on the ground. What did you think when you saw the guy up there?

        Heights don’t bother me too much but that unmanned lift thing he used to get himself up there gave me major heebeejees. It doesn’t look stable nor can I figure out how it stays in balance to keep from tipping over while it’s lifting the guy in the air 😯

        Yes, looks very crazy. I guess the machine was made to balance, but yikes!
