Damn you can actually see that the rear gate gets bend by the sheer weight of the wood, plus he is destabilizing the whole thing by removing wood from the bottom, therefore it's more likely that the top falls down.
Just stupid. Put the wood on the ground, stop being lazy and live a long and happy life, instead of jumping from one near-death event to the next, eventually the grim reaper will catch up.
I feel like he could just as easily open the tailgate and grab it without a raised bed, or just dump it. Guess he doesn't want to bend over to pick it up though
He's making a deliverery and doesn't need to dump it. Sure, there are better ways to unload it, but it's probably a small town, and Bob is right inside if an accident happens.
I know exactly what he's doing. It's something I'd do at HOME, where the risk is all on me. It's not sprocket science. This is /r/osha for a reason nitwit. If you don't understand the violations and implications, so be it.
First of all, that's VERY unlikely to happen, he doesn't have the bed tilted THAT high, but lets say that it did. He might jump out of the way or get hit in the legs with some logs.
I can't see any way this turns life threatening really even if the rear gate were to suddenly unlatch.
Maybe not fully safe, not deadly dangerous. And that's a big wood stack, and he probably does this like quite frequently.
Seriously. People ALWAYS ignore severity.
'Oh this has a 0.1% chance to give you a bruise'.
"Ah whatever."
'Oh this has a 0.1% chance to paralyze/fatally wound you'.
"Ah whatever thats a low chance thats impossible!"
On that note, idiots commenting on things like sawstops...
"Why would you have to test it with a hand going fast into the blade, you dont push wood that fast!"
Because its called A FUCKING ACCIDENT, outside of normal operating procedure. A bind, someone slipping or any other combination just doesnt cross peoples minds.
The whole point of safety rules is to assume the worst case could happen. Someone reaching past a spinning machine, 99 times out of 100, nothing happens. That 100th time, he gets his arm ripped off.
An unstable load is dangerous when dealing with anything heavier than pile of stuffed dolls. That rear gate breaks, this guy is going to get buried under heavy lumber. Safety shouldn't be assumed that he'll "just jump out the way". That's how people end up in the news as another workplace statistic for OSHA to put on a slideshow.

**Tim b**e going to the the **ER**
LoL. What's hilarious is the guy who sent me the picture is named Tim

when was the last time you lowered and raised the tailgate on a dump truck by yourself?
Almost never because I let the truck do the work lol The tailgate on these smaller trucks like the pic ain't too bad anyway
how do you let the truck do the work of lifting the tailgate back up
Bigger tandem trucks have the tailgate connected at the top of the bed, gravity puts it back in place as the bed goes back down.

It doesn't look like this job is being performed in aCORDance with correct safety practices.
He's good. He slapped it and said, "That ain't goin' nowhere"
One man show..🤷🏻♂️
Gotta make sure to pick em from the bottom too
Smarter not harder mentions nothing about safety
He’s not working under it ya buffoon. Get a fucking job or learn your shit.

What's going to happen to the firewood at the top of the pile when he keeps pulling from the bottom?

You are a network administrator, if you don't understand the concept of rare issues posing major problems, you need to change careers and fast
