And that way of doing things is not so far fetched either, and not that unsafe provide the man acting as the counterweight doesn't move. Far be it for me to say it, but having worked in that country, I would say the chances of him doing so are as close to absolute zero as teh furthest reaches of the Universe. Unless he is blind drunk and needs a ****. |

Unless he is blind drunk and needs a ****. Looking at the pictures, he looks too far forward to be a counterweight to me. I think that the other end of the planks must be secured inside somewhere.

I think the plank is attached inside the tower, and stops the top two ladders from moving outwards, so that the weight of the guy at the top pretty much supported by plain compression in each ladder. |
