Guess who is not doing the safety dance

Yesterday I talked about construction safety and the stupid things that construction workers do that can get them hurt. Real life case in point, yesterday one of our superintendents had to go to the hospital because he hurt his arm. It seems he was driving while holding something (I believe it might have been a ladder) down on the roof of his car.
You see Saturday he got into a car accident and totaled his truck so he was using his wife's car which didn't have room for the ladder so he just held it down by sticking his arm out the car window and holding onto it. This is the same guy that has broken his work phone at least 4 times since I have been working here.

And now for your viewing pleasure midgets and medieval fun...the safety dance! (Yes I know I have posted this before but it is too great to pass up)

Holy crap, you should fire that guy. What a liability.

He also had a heart attack earlier this year and then subsequently flew off the handle at a jobsite supposidly from a reaction from one of the drugs he was taking and we had to make him take a medical leave. But he has worked here since it opened and is a hard worker and a good guy which makes firing him a whole lot easier said than done.

Yeah. Still, that's crazy. A ladder on top of the car with your arm holding it? C'mon.
