Is this safe?

Wheels are not "chocked" he is actually holding the vehicle back from rolling fwd with the right side of his head.

LOL OREJAP


I guess he has it all under control then ..... heh heh

Don`t you chock the wheel diagonally opposite the one jacked up ??

It looks to me like it`s chocked.............ah well I think it looks like it is ...........
ah I can`t actually see it .............. ah it could be...... but I`m not sure.

LOL LOL

Good looking tread on the tyres though, what tyres are they ?

Scrubby.

Scrubby, they look like Micky Thompson Baja Claws pretty good very good in mud but I found them slippery on the tar in the wet.

AH, but what is he doing?
Maybe wetting his boots, if he is, the ground could become slippery, and THAT is another safety issue in it's self.
I do how ever see another issue, the bystander does not have a stubbie in his hand. This well surely cause an accident.

They are members of the Russian 'rally' team, he's given his stubbie to the guy doing the work, cause it was hot under the wheel-arch :-)

Maîneÿ . . .

Hmmm, Good thinkin' Maîneÿ,
Gotta look after him :)

Have a close look - there aint no jack stand.
Kangaroo jacks are brilliant but this is not the safest way to use them.

Ok the jack stand maybe on the other side of the guy fixing the car out of view, perhaps supporting the chassis.

That is more than feasible, and nobody on this site can prove it is not there.

Does that make my point clearer.

"No wonder I don't give out the info here that I used to."
You're clearly not alone there GB. More so than ever posts, replies & photo's seem to get scutinized for every little detail. How many of the detractors on this discussion do you think have done the very thing being shown in the piccy?..........I know I have. Pot calling kettle :-)
Cheers Craig...............

"I think the Russians are used to operating without a 2 inch thick OH&S manual in their hands. "
Lucky buggars, Hmm it would cut down on weight as well. :)

Now that's thinking outside the box, I had a little faith that some out there could do so.LOL

and there lies the problem.....................you called it a TRUCK

Oh my god!
There's a shovel leaning against the bull bar!! Surely that's not safe!!!
And - what's he doing with the hammer? (oops - sorry - mallet - 'my bad'!!!)
-
And - how come the 4wd (oops - truck - 'my bad' again) hasn't rolled off the jack at the angle it's on? Who know's - can't tell from this photo or the other one.....maybe the other front wheel IS CHOCKED!!! (shock horror!)

Not really having a go at you Chris, but this whole nit-picking post based on photos and not actually being there to see the real story.
Bit like the post with the quads & Ocka support crew "wrecking the desert tracks for years to come" or the original post about some russians driving "too fast" for some peoples liking....
Oh Please ! - Is life that boring that people need to bag others 'cos they're out there having fun.
Get a grip - it's posts & attitudes like this that feed the over regulated society we live in today.....

Rant over - no follow up.

The idea of such a thread is to promote safety and think through your actions. Every few months there are people killed by such actions - tragedies to all around (including the families) that could be easily avoided through a bit of forward thinking.
Having had a near death experience with a traumatic road crash brings such things to the forward (perhaps people who have had such things happen or have had direct dealings with such events are more aware than others of thinking through to possible final results). She'll be right mate - look at me - and in most cases it will but then things go pear shaped really quickly...
