30DodgePanel Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Why aren't they using propane tanks? I would think the steel would make for a stronger foundation.

Let's see, that looks like a rather heavy engine with large transmission. The beam weighs in at about two hundred pounds. The ladders are moderate duty (at least they are not light duty home types!), probably rated for about three hundred pounds maximum for each? That alone is scary enough. But those fractured remnants of broken bricks under the ladder legs? Add all that unstable stacking under the ladders? If a dog walked by and sneezed it could all fall apart! I would rather be under that pickup with the welder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I have to say that in fourty-four years as an Funeral Director/Embalmer I only remember about eight of these guys. I guess there are still some Angels looking over peoples shoulders. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he did. Even to his detriment. If you look close in some of his movies, you'll see he wears a prosthetic on his hand to hide the two fingers he's missing. They were lost when a prop bomb went off in his hand while filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I wonder if this was a divorce situation? Court room dialogue must have been interesting...
